Guide to questions that promote bridging solutions for equitable implementation of telehealth.

Bridging issues for future exploration	Question for future research
Population
Patients who do not use, or minimally use, telehealth in health care delivery Patients who experience challenges to health and wellness due to sociodemographic factors Patients who experience intersecting health and sociodemographic factors	What is the impact of (age, sex, race/ethnicity) on telehealth reach? What are the factors of patients who do not (receive, sustain, engage in) telehealth? What (resources such as interpreters, accessible devices) are necessary for equitable implementation of telehealth? What structural factors (eg, racism) impact the equitable use of telehealth in a population?
Setting
Community-based health settings Outpatient settings (eg, community-based clinics, large health care systems, small health care settings, rural clinics) Primary care or specialty settings	What contextual factors influence equitable delivery of telehealth at the (person, provider, health care system) level? What factors promote or hinder equitable implementation of (telehealth modality) at the (setting) level? In what ways does (setting) impact the delivery and receipt of (telehealth modality)? How does the implementation of telehealth differ by local or national (policy, available infrastructure)? How does adaptation of (telehealth modality) interventions differ by setting?
Outcomes
Patient-centered outcomes Acceptability of telehealth (eg, access, use, sustainment) Patient and clinician satisfaction Harms and unintended consequences (eg, missed diagnoses, nonengagement of certain groups or individuals)	How are outcomes culturally or contextually defined in telehealth use? How do patient-reported outcomes differ by (patient characteristic, subgroup)? What patient-reported outcomes differ by (patient characteristic, subgroup)?
