Accessibility of Virtual Visits for Urgent Care Among US Hospitals: a Descriptive Analysis 2020-05-18 .txt text/plain 887 66 42 title: Accessibility of Virtual Visits for Urgent Care Among US Hospitals: a Descriptive Analysis 3 Many hospitals now offer real-time "virtual visits" for common urgent care through their websites, which offer an opportunity to assess the accessibility of a typical telehealth service. Many hospitals have begun offering virtual visits for urgent care with real-time connectivity through their websites. Hospitals used different names for these services such as "e-visits," "virtual urgent care," and "virtual visits." We included links to primary care visits if the website clearly indicated quick access for urgent care. We examined hospital websites and their virtual visit sites, focusing on three accessibility characteristics: general availability, language accommodations, and affordability. Even among hospitals with publicly accessible virtual visits, further limitations included geographic limitations (i.e., accessing care across state lines) and exclusions for chronic health conditions. Virtual visits were not easily or equitably accessible; in general, navigation of hospital websites was challenging. ./cache/cord-355851-t8xh6327.txt ./txt/cord-355851-t8xh6327.txt
