Digital Divide Questions
The consequences of the digital divide on healthcare access include limited access to telemedicine services, reduced ability to access and utilize online health information and resources, decreased access to electronic health records and online appointment scheduling, and disparities in health outcomes and healthcare quality between those with and without digital access. Additionally, the digital divide can exacerbate existing healthcare disparities based on socioeconomic status, geographic location, and other factors, further widening the gap in healthcare access and outcomes.
