Study Identifies Factors That Should Be Taken Into Consideration As Virtual Care Expands Among Older Adults With HIV

The American Journal of Managed Care (12/5, Bonavitacola) reports a study “focused on interviewing older adults with HIV who use virtual care found that trust, access to technology, and privacy were all important factors that should be taken into consideration as virtual care expands in this population.” The investigators “concluded that the results of the study ‘underscore the imperative of cultivating trusting relationships between health care providers and older adults living with HIV in virtual care settings,’ which would make ensuring patient privacy a top priority.” The findings were published in JMIR Aging.
