Associations With Virtual Visit Use Among Patients Receiving Radiation Therapy

While the patient populations were similar prior to and during COVID, when controlling for available variables, we found significant differences in virtual visit use by patient characteristics, including race and marital status as well as disease characteristics. Further study is needed to elucidate additional factors that underlie these differences in virtual visit utilization; health equity should be considered when implementing virtual visits. Our findings raise the hypothesis that vulnerable patient groups may benefit from additional interventions and outreach to enable equitable access.
