Notes:
For question about problems addressed
16 diagnoses or diagnosis groups accounted for 91% of the completed visits. The diagnoses on this list are certainly comparable to illness seen in office practice, although the proportion diagnosed with acute otitis media seems high at almost 29%. You can't make much out of illness distributions or utilization patterns without a matched control group of inner city children using childcare without telemed. That analysis is under way (come back next year).
