摘要
Telehealth is becoming an increasingly used service delivery model in rehabilitation services. There are a myriad of reasons for its use. Telehealth has the potential to alleviate provider shortages, decrease costs associated with providing therapy, and allow for treatment within a client's natural environment. The purpose of this evidence-based practice review was to answer the question, "Are web-based rehabilitation services effective for children under the age of 16, as measured by discipline specific outcomes and/or satisfaction with services provided?" In regard to satisfaction with telehealth services, it appears there is evidence to support the use of telehealth in pediatric OT.
