a
For all measures, reference group for outcome is sustainers category (684 facilities). Sustainers were those that offered telehealth during and after the end of the public health emergency (PHE). Discontinuers were those that offered telehealth during but not after the end of the PHE. Nonadopters were those that did not offer telehealth during or after the end of the PHE. Adopters were those that started offering telehealth after the end of the PHE.
