Using qualitative methods, we examine telehealth care quality from the perspective of parents of pediatric patients during a pandemic. We fill a gap in the literature essential for measuring effectiveness of pediatric telehealth. A total of 22 participants (n = 21 female; n = 1 male) enrolled in 1 of 9 interviews and focus groups conducted in 2021. Transcribed data were thematically analyzed and organized based on the 6 domains of quality health care by the Institute of Medicine (IOM). Analyzed data revealed 7 themes and 52 codes. Pediatric telehealth visits were perceived as efficient, timely, safe, and generally effective by parents for their child's health care. Participants experienced equal or greater time with their child's care provider via telehealth than through in-person visits. Qualitative results directly align with IOM domains of quality health care and contribute to the growing literature and evidence that may lead to improved telehealth outcomes and better preparedness for emergent public health events.
