Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Telemedicine has emerged as a promising approach to enhancing healthcare delivery, particularly in pediatric settings where timely and effective care is essential. This thesis investigates the effectiveness of telemedicine in pediatric healthcare through a comparative study. The study aims to evaluate the impact of telemedicine on various aspects of pediatric healthcare, such as access to care, quality of care, patient outcomes, and cost-effectiveness, by comparing telemedicine interventions with traditional in-person care. The research begins with a comprehensive literature review that examines existing studies and evidence on the use of telemedicine in pediatric healthcare. This review highlights the potential benefits and challenges associated with telemedicine in this specific context, providing a foundation for the empirical investigation. The research methodology chapter outlines the design of the comparative study, including the selection of study participants, data collection methods, and statistical analysis techniques. The study sample will consist of pediatric patients receiving care through telemedicine and those receiving traditional in-person care, allowing for a direct comparison of outcomes between the two groups. The findings chapter presents the results of the comparative study, analyzing the impact of telemedicine on key indicators such as patient satisfaction, healthcare access, clinical outcomes, and cost-effectiveness. The discussion delves into the implications of these findings for pediatric healthcare practice and policy, highlighting the potential of telemedicine to improve access to care and enhance the quality of services provided to pediatric patients. In conclusion, this thesis underscores the significance of telemedicine as a valuable tool in pediatric healthcare, offering a cost-effective and efficient alternative to traditional in-person care. The study contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting the adoption of telemedicine in pediatric practice and provides insights that can inform future research and policy decisions in this field.
