Everything Is Remote, Even Healthcare - Why Telemedicine Is Still the First Choice for 91% of Patients

At the onset of the pandemic, remote care delivery platforms were a unique and perfect solution for healthcare providers who needed to continue seeing patients while minimizing the risk of exposure to the virus. Even better was the fact that so many telehealth platforms already existed, were equipped with HIPAA-compliant features, readily available, and fast to deploy. We polled 1,002 patients who have used telemedicine to find out exactly how they feel about it, how the pandemic affected their use of remote healthcare, and whether or not they intend to keep using it. The short answer is that patients are still very happy with the benefits of remote care. In fact, our survey found that 91% of patients are more likely to select a provider who offers telemedicine over one who doesn’t.
