Abstract
In this national study of primary care practice–level factors associated with telehealth adoption in 2022, we found that training and assisting patients with the use of telehealth, broadband expansion efforts, and a higher proportion of low-income patients were associated with higher practice-level telehealth use, suggesting both opportunities for telehealth expansion and potential populations with higher need for its use.
