Aim: Sepsis is a top contributor to in-hospital mortality and, healthcare expenditures and telehealth have been shown to improve short-term sepsis care in rural hospitals. This study will evaluate the effect of provider-to-provider video telehealth in rural emergency departments (EDs) on healthcare costs and long-term outcomes for sepsis patients. Materials & methods: We will use Medicare administrative claims to compare total healthcare expenditures, mortality, length-of-stay, readmissions, and category-specific costs between telehealth-subscribing and control hospitals. Results: The results of this work will demonstrate the extent to which telehealth use is associated with total healthcare expenditures for sepsis care. Conclusion: These findings will be important to inform future policy initiatives to improve sepsis care in rural EDs. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT05072145 ( ClinicalTrials.gov ) |
