Due to the lack of patient availability, there has been no telehealth orders placed to date. The short duration of this project is a limitation, and data should be followed for the next one to two years to assess program impact. Access to follow-up care via a telehealth platform could have a positive impact on the long-term sequelae that sexual assault survivors face.
Learning Outcomes:
Increased knowledge about:
the importance of follow-up care for patients after a sexual assault.
a new telehealth follow-up process being implemented in a large urban academic medical center.
the possible reasons behind lack of follow-up care in sexual assault patients.
