New clinic reduces wait for pediatric rheumatology conditions in American Indian Alaskan Native children, indicating enhanced care access.
Tribal communities face barriers to care. This is especially true for American Indian Alaskan Native children needing pediatric-subspecialty care. We created a new pediatric rheumatology hybrid clinic using telemedicine to enhance access. A combination of telemedicine clinics and face-to-face clinics onsite at the Northern Navajo Medical Center was offered. The new clinic reduced the wait time for care for pediatric rheumatology conditions by 95%.
