Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis investigates the impact of telemedicine on pediatric healthcare outcomes, with a focus on understanding how the integration of telemedicine technologies can enhance the delivery of healthcare services to children. The study explores the potential benefits and challenges associated with implementing telemedicine in pediatric care settings, aiming to provide insights that can inform future practices and policies in this field. The introduction sets the context by outlining the background of the study, highlighting the growing importance of telemedicine in healthcare delivery, particularly in pediatrics. The problem statement identifies the gaps and limitations in current pediatric healthcare practices that telemedicine can potentially address. The objectives of the study are to evaluate the effectiveness of telemedicine in improving access to healthcare for children, enhancing communication between healthcare providers and patients, and optimizing healthcare outcomes in pediatric populations. The literature review in Chapter Two provides a comprehensive analysis of existing research on telemedicine in pediatric care, covering topics such as the use of telemedicine in diagnosing and treating pediatric conditions, the impact of telemedicine on healthcare access and quality, and the barriers to implementing telemedicine in pediatric settings. The review synthesizes key findings and identifies gaps in the literature that this study aims to address. Chapter Three outlines the research methodology, including the research design, data collection methods, sample selection criteria, and data analysis techniques. The chapter also discusses ethical considerations and limitations of the study, highlighting the steps taken to ensure the validity and reliability of the research findings. Chapter Four presents the findings of the study, analyzing the impact of telemedicine on pediatric healthcare outcomes based on the data collected and the analysis conducted. The chapter discusses the key findings in relation to the research objectives and provides insights into the implications of these findings for pediatric healthcare practice and policy. The conclusion in Chapter Five summarizes the key findings of the study, discusses their implications for pediatric healthcare practice, and offers recommendations for future research and practice in this area. The study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on telemedicine in pediatric care and provides valuable insights for healthcare providers, policymakers, and researchers seeking to improve healthcare outcomes for children through the use of telemedicine technologies.
