Comparing telemedicine to in-clinic medication abortions induced with mifepristone and misoprostol.

Objective: The objective was to compare the practical aspects of providing medication abortions through telemedicine and in-person clinic visits so that clinics can use this information when planning to add this service.

Study Design: We conducted a comparative retrospective chart review comparing telemedicine medication abortions to a control group matched for date seen. We extracted and compared demographics, use of dating ultrasound, outcomes and unscheduled visits or communications with staff and physicians.
