Randomized field trial assesses telemedicine's impact on consultation times in community health centres, suggesting improvements in efficiency.
Community health centres (CHCs) in Nigeria face challenges in providing effective healthcare services. A stratified random sampling method was used to select CHCs for the trial. Random assignment ensured balanced comparison groups. The study found that implementing telemedicine reduced consultation times by an average of 25% with a 95% confidence interval (CI) [10%, 40%]. Telemedicine shows promise in enhancing the efficiency and accessibility of CHCs without compromising quality. Further research should be conducted to validate these findings across different regions and populations.
