Pediatric Associates, the largest privately-owned primary care pediatric practice in the country, cares for more than 500,000 patients—55% of whom are in risk-based contracts under Managed Medicaid.
The organization found that many of its patients were utilizing the emergency department for low-acuity conditions that could be better treated either in a primary care office or through telehealth. In this case study, Pediatric Associates discusses how the organization integrated telehealth into its triage line to divert unnecessary care from the ED and improve access.

• 66% of consumers are willing to use telehealth, and 8% have tried it
