In this national study of primary care practice–level factors associated with telehealth adoption in 2022, we found that training and assisting patients with the use of telehealth, broadband expansion efforts, and a higher proportion of low-income patients were associated with higher practice-level telehealth use, suggesting both opportunities for telehealth expansion and potential populations with higher need for its use.
