VA Bedford Healthcare System, Bedford, Massachusetts, United States  \nThough older adults have historically utilized technology less than younger adults, their use of telehealth greatly expanded in recent years. Despite these gains, a telehealth Digital Divide has led to discrepancies in use of telehealth with older adults and others with complex medical needs, creating a persistent barrier to healthcare. While evidence for how clinicians decide which patients to offer video telehealth to is generally lacking, age is frequently cited by clinicians as a barrier, suggesting an ageist attitude towards older adults. This study will present findings from a national survey of clinicians at Veterans Health Administration (VHA), the largest integrated healthcare system in the United States. The survey, which is approved for launch in March 2025, will be sent to over 297,000 inter-professional VHA clinicians, including physicians, nursing and rehabilitation professionals, psychologists, and social workers. Survey items include factors influencing clinician offer of video, such as patient factors (age, comorbidity, and caregiver availability) and organizational influences (leadership buy-in, telehealth metrics, availability of administrative/technical support), as well as clinician attitudes towards patient fitness for telehealth more broadly.  \nBuilding on this first ever national survey examining factors influencing clinician utilization of video telehealth, this study aims to promote clinicians’ successful integration of telehealth with older patients, thereby increasing patient access to care.","cbCaiiKswZDjapOz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiKswZDjapOz","pdf",740648,"English","# Background\n## Telehealth digital divide and age perceptions\n# Study Aim and Design\n## National survey of VHA clinicians\n# Survey Content\n## Patient factors\n## Organizational influences\n## Clinician attitudes\n# Expected Impact\n## Improving integration with older patients","[{\"question\":\"Why is the telehealth digital divide still a problem for older adults?\",\"answer\":\"Telehealth use has grown, but discrepancies persist for older adults and people with complex medical needs, creating an ongoing barrier to healthcare access.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the survey study about clinicians’ video telehealth offers?\",\"answer\":\"It examines factors influencing clinicians’ decisions to offer video telehealth, including patient characteristics (age, comorbidity, caregiver availability) and organizational influences such as leadership buy-in and support resources.\"},{\"question\":\"How will the study help improve patient access to care?\",\"answer\":\"By identifying factors that affect clinicians’ utilization of video telehealth, the study aims to support successful integration with older patients and thereby increase access to care.\"}]","Examining Clinician Offer of Video Telehealth at Veterans Health Administration - A National Survey | PDF"]
