Which of the following is a benefit of telehealth care?

While telehealth can lead to cost savings for some patients and healthcare systems, this is not universally applicable and can vary depending on specific services and technologies used. Additionally, initial investments in technology and infrastructure may not yield immediate financial benefits, making cost-effectiveness an uncertain advantage of telehealth care.

Although telehealth has the potential to reduce certain health disparities by providing wider access, it does not universally eliminate barriers such as digital literacy, internet access, or socioeconomic factors. Therefore, while it can contribute to addressing health disparities, it does not guarantee their reduction across all populations.

Telehealth can help facilitate continuity of care by allowing for more frequent follow-ups and ongoing consultations. However, this is contingent on the patient’s ability to access technology and engage with healthcare providers, which may not always be the case. Thus, while it may aid continuity, it is not a guaranteed benefit of telehealth itself.
