eClinicalWorks

As healthcare professionals around the world continue to work tirelessly to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, telehealth continues to become a leading force in providing remote care to patients.

What the experts are saying

Providers needed a way to care for patients while promoting social distancing practices. That’s where telehealth comes in. As patients continue to become more tech-savvy – 80% of internet users in the United States search online for health information – telehealth continues to garner interest.

In February 2020, only 18% of providers intended to use telehealth. By March, this number shot up to 30%.

Many practices are realizing that telehealth is essential in keeping their business running and bringing the best healthcare experience for patients. 53% of select specialties are using telehealth for the first time, and 68% of patients who have used telehealth gave it a 9 or 10 on a scale of 1-10.

But if you’re thinking of giving telehealth a try, it’s essential to choose a solution that will help you achieve your goals.
