摘要

远程医疗的使用在世界范围内大幅增加，引发了关于其对健康结果、使用率和医疗保健成本的影响的问题。使用阿拉斯加部落健康系统（ath）和医疗补助的去识别数据，我们评估了一组远程医疗用户相对于匹配的非用户样本的支出模式变化。我们发现个体在第一次接触远程医疗后相对于对照组倾向于产生较低的医疗保健支出。我们的首选估计显示，医疗补助样本下降了1.14%，ath样本下降了0.7%。

On telemedicine and healthcare spending.

The use of telemedicine has increased substantially worldwide prompting questions about its effect on health outcomes, utilisation rates, and healthcare costs. Using de-identified data from the Alaska Tribal Health System (ATHS) and Medicaid, we evaluate how spending patterns changed for a group of telemedicine users relative to a matched sample of non-users. We find that individuals tend to incur lower healthcare spending relative to the control group after first exposure to telemedicine. Our pre- ferred estimates show a 1.14% decrease for the Medicaid sample and a 0.7% decrease in the ATHS sample.
