Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, on March 16th, 2020 clinics at the hospital system closed for non-urgent in-person care. We excluded visits between 3/11/2020 and 3/24/2020 from analysis, because during this period in-person non-urgent visits were halted and healthcare system was deploying telehealth.
t-test was used to compare to pre-COVID-19 surge (Jan 1st – March 10th).
Other includes unknown and refused, which accounted for 2350 visits in 2018, 2573 visits in 2019 and 3165 visits in 2020.
