    A majority of APRNs indicated that their patients often lacked access to needed technology or had significant technology support problems. And just over one-third also reported patient apprehension with adopting and utilizing new technologies. On univariable analysis, APRN ethnicity, license type, practice area, practice environment and setting, the geographic location of the practice, and their use of telehealth correlated with a positive waiver impact.

They may affect a setting, or patient type, or geographic location, a variety of different things.
