Elimination of racial disparities in postpartum hypertension follow-up after incorporation of telehealth into a quality bundle.

Background: Black people have a disproportionately higher risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and postpartum complications than White people but historically lower rates of postpartum follow-up. Few studies have investigated telehealth in the postpartum population.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate whether rapid switch to telehealth with audio-based visits during the COVID-19 pandemic decreased racial disparities in postpartum hypertension follow-up adherence.
