To identify rates of telemedicine provision during the COVID-19 pandemic and predictive institutional factors among 4-year and graduate colleges and universities.
The study (n = 364) included the websites (.edu) of accredited public nonprofit, private nonprofit, and private for-profit institutions of higher education in the United States that award bachelors, masters, or doctoral degrees.
Using digital content analysis, human coders analyzed institution websites for informational text indicating student telemedicine services.
Findings indicate that a minority of 4-year and above institutions offer telemedicine access. Institution type, institution size, and the presence of campus student health services were predictive. Endowment size and Minority Serving Institution status were not predictive.
This study illustrates the ongoing need for increased access to remote health services across higher education, especially among smaller private and public nonprofit colleges and universities and all private for-profit institutions.
确定在 COVID-19 大流行期间提供远程医疗的比率，以及在美国提供学士、硕士或博士学位的 4 年制和研究生院校中具有预测性的机构因素。
本研究（n=364）包括美国经认可的公立非营利、私立非营利和私立营利性高等教育机构的网站（.edu）。
使用数字内容分析，人工编码员分析了机构网站上有关学生远程医疗服务的信息文本。
研究结果表明，只有少数 4 年制及以上的院校提供远程医疗服务。机构类型、机构规模和校园学生健康服务的存在是具有预测性的。捐赠规模和少数族裔服务机构地位不具有预测性。
本研究表明，整个高等教育领域都需要增加获得远程医疗服务的机会，尤其是在规模较小的公立和私立非营利性学院和大学以及所有私立营利性机构中。
