Telemedicine has become one of the most versatile ways a patient can engage in healthcare services.
According to a study conducted by the Harris Poll, 83% of people surveyed had never used telemedicine before the pandemic. That same study also showed that most Americans plan to continue using telemedicine as a part of their healthcare in the future.
If that is the case, then it is important to make sure that telemedicine providers offer thorough and accurate care. Many patients new to virtual healthcare worry that using a telemedicine provider does not offer the same level of care as an in-person visit or is less reliable.
Virtual healthcare encompasses a variety of technology-based medical care — from talking with a physician on the phone to accessing treatment options through an online portal to getting a prescription after a real-time virtual appointment.
All of these options are creating new opportunities for patients to gain access to faster, more affordable care. It is imperative that patients receive the same level of care through these new technologies as they would for an in-person visit. Yet, not all telemedicine providers offer that high level of care. Some telemedicine providers cut corners.
Data shows that one of the largest telemedicine providers fails to order an ankle X-ray in 85% of cases where standard care for ankle pain would require the patient to get an X-ray. With that, a patient is left dealing with pain longer than necessary. Eventually, this can lead to more damage to the bone and require even more specialized treatment.
Because some telemedicine providers do not offer complete virtual healthcare services, employers may find that their employees do not utilize this service. Their employees are worried about the reliability of telemedicine — does it offer the same level of care as an in-person visit?
