Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically impacted delivery of outpatient care. Many people with spina bifida (SB) in the U.S. receive outpatient healthcare in a multidisciplinary setting. In accordance with state healthcare mandates, outpatient multidisciplinary clinic visits were deferred, postponed, or canceled, while telemedicine systems were implemented. A survey was created and distributed to all known SB clinics in the U.S. We explored the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the delivery of outpatient care for the SB population and the use of telemedicine in response. Novel uses of telehealth, benefits of use, suggestions for overcoming barriers, and future opportunities are identified and discussed.
