Key Points Question What is the association between access to outpatient telemedicine consultations and hospital utilization among medically underserved children with neurologic conditions? Findings This cross-sectional study of 4169 children found that the rate of hospital encounters among children who obtained pediatric neurology consultations using telemedicine was significantly lower than the rate among similar children who obtained in-person care. Meaning By improving access to pediatric neurology consultations in underserved communities and enhancing care coordination, telemedicine may reduce the utilization of high-cost hospital services.
