Telemedicine Readiness Inventory for 774 Primary Care Facilities in Peru

David Villarreal-Zegarra's dataset contains psychometric validation data for an adapted telemedicine readiness inventory. The analytic sample includes 774 public primary care facilities in Peru, with data collected via a nationwide online assessment between December 2023 and March 2024. The dataset includes factor analysis results, internal consistency metrics, and criterion validity correlations for five readiness domains.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking telemedicine readiness across facilities based on the five validated domain scores.
• Prioritizing technical assistance investments using percentile-based norms derived from the inventory.
• Monitoring progress in telemedicine uptake by correlating readiness scores with operational indicators like consultation volume.
• Planning telemedicine implementation strategies based on validated assessments of organizational and facility conditions.

Strengths

• Dataset is based on a sample of 774 health facilities, providing a substantial basis for analysis.
• The inventory demonstrates satisfactory psychometric properties, with reported Cronbach's alpha values ranging from 0.75 to 0.87.
• Confirmatory factor analysis showed adequate model fit across five domains, with CFI values up to 0.999.
• Measurement invariance was supported across health facility categories, with ΔCFI values below 0.010.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for specific modeling tasks.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to the specific assessment in Peru from late 2023 to early 2024.
