Overview

Scoping review maps economic evaluations of telehealth services for older adults with unplanned care, suggesting cost-effectiveness.

Key Points

  • Telehealth services are found to be cost-effective for older adults, suggesting potential savings in care costs.
  • Eight studies analyzed indicate telehealth interventions often reduce costs but lack robust evidence on overall cost-effectiveness.
  • Descriptive analyses were employed to summarize findings from quantitative articles published from 2014 to 2024.
  • Clear policy frameworks must be established to ensure sustainable telehealth integration and deliver economically viable solutions.
