Popis: Introduction. The COVID-19 pandemic required providers to re-evaluate traditional models of healthcare delivery. In particular, the proportion of care delivered remotely through telehealth has sharply increased to minimize contact between patients and providers. This shift has magnified barriers associated with telehealth use and disparities among uptake, preference, and acceptability of telehealth solutions. The objective of this scoping review is to document the disparities in telehealth uptake and use that have been documented in literature. Methods and analysis. Following the guidelines of the Joanna Briggs Institute,we will conduct a scoping review of PubMed, CINAHL, and Scopus, as well as several sources of grey literature. Analysis will occur over two stages: title and abstract review, and full-text review. We aim to provide a summary and synthesis of key findings in standardized tables for use at a consensus conference. Ethics and dissemination. Ethics approval is not required for this scoping review because no primary data will be collected. This review will provide the framework for discussion at a consensus conference to develop a patient-centered research agenda to reduce disparities in telehealth uptake and use. We intend to publish our results in a peer-reviewed scientific journal and present them at national conferences.
