A scientific journal has published an erratum notice for a previous report that examined how telehealth services were used during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. An erratum is a formal correction to a published paper. This notice does not contain new research data or findings about telehealth.
The original report looked at trends in telehealth use, but the specific details about the study population, methods, and results are not provided in this erratum notice. The notice itself does not report any safety concerns or adverse events because it is a correction rather than a research study.
The main reason for caution is that this publication is simply a correction to an earlier paper. Readers should not interpret this as new evidence about telehealth. If you are interested in the actual findings about telehealth trends during COVID-19, you would need to read the corrected original report, not this erratum notice.
