Telehealth services continue to gain traction in medical group practices, though at a slow pace, according to a new MGMA Stat poll.
The Colorado-based Medical Group Management Association conducted a Jan. 10 poll with nearly 1,300 respondents. Twenty-six percent of those polled said their organizations offer telehealth services, while another 15 percent said they plan to offer them in the future. This reveals a 3-percent shift among practice leaders who have or are considering telehealth services compared to a January 2017 MGMA Stat poll, in which 23 percent of respondents said they offer telehealth and 18 percent responded that they were planning to add such services.
