Article Synopsis
- This study explores how telehealth has been utilized in developmental behavioral pediatrics during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- An electronic survey was sent to DBP fellowship-affiliated practices, revealing that before the pandemic, most sites used telehealth infrequently, but since then, 100% have adopted video-based visits multiple times a week.
- The results show that telehealth is being effectively used for various evaluations and ongoing care, highlighting the need to understand its impact on future DBP care delivery.
