Factors associated with use of telemedicine for follow-up of rheumatoid arthritis.
The objective of this analysis was to determine factors associated with the use of video telemedicine when offered as part of usual care for follow-up of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Participants were individuals with a diagnosis of RA recruited from the Alaska Tribal Health System when seeing a rheumatologist either in-person or via video telemedicine. Findings showed that, when offered as an option for rheumatology care, video telemedicine was more likely to be used by RA patients with higher disease activity and more positive perceptions of telemedicine, as well as by patients whose physicians used telemedicine more often.
