Healthcare access and attitudes towards telehealth during the early phase of the COVID‐19 pandemic among an Australian cohort with inflammatory arthritis.

Community restrictions due to COVID‐19 have changed healthcare, including increased telehealth use. During the early pandemic phase, a cohort of Australian patients with inflammatory arthritis was surveyed. Self‐reported access to healthcare was maintained and physical health was more likely to be self‐rated poorly than mental health. There was a high level of support for telehealth during and after the pandemic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
