Telehealth use skyrocketed in the early months of the Covid-19 pandemic when many health providers were forced to deliver services remotely. Although telehealth visits have dropped from their peak in 2020, they remain elevated even as many patients return to in-person care, according to the results of an analysis by Epic Research and the Kaiser Family Foundation.
Survey results show that patients and providers like the benefits of telehealth, such as convenience. You don’t have to sit in a waiting room when you’re sick, and you can see your doctor from the comfort of your own bed or sofa for a routine appointment.
