Telehealth in Colorado
Providing health care services remotely through telehealth has the potential to improve access to care and advance health equity, especially for patients in rural and under-resourced communities. With the onset of COVID-19 in 2020, more providers started offering telehealth services than ever before, and many Coloradans continue to use telehealth as a source of care. In partnership with the Office of e-Health Innovation and others, CIVHC has conducted several analyses to better understand telehealth and how it’s being used by Coloradans. Use these reports to explore trends in telehealth use, provider payment barriers, the impact of social factors on telehealth use and more.
