The Rapid Rise of Telemedicine
With the influence of both the pandemic and continuing advances in technology reshaping our lives, it’s no wonder physicians and healthcare organizations are increasingly embracing the online model. In fact, telemedicine has become one of the fastest growing trends in medicine.
An estimated 1.6 million televisits took place in the early months of the pandemic, between Jan. and Mar. 2020 – approximately 50% more than the previous year. By April 2020, telemedicine had accounted for a full 13% of all medical claims. That trend shows no signs of decreasing.
