Assessment of the Impact of Telemedicine on Pediatric Healthcare Delivery

Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Telemedicine has emerged as a promising solution to improve healthcare access and delivery, particularly in pediatric care. This thesis examines the impact of telemedicine on pediatric healthcare delivery, focusing on its benefits, challenges, and implications. The study investigates how telemedicine technologies are being utilized in pediatric settings, exploring their effectiveness in improving patient outcomes, reducing healthcare disparities, and enhancing overall healthcare quality. Through a comprehensive literature review and empirical research, this thesis aims to provide insights into the current state of telemedicine in pediatric care and offer recommendations for its future implementation and enhancement.
