Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic was a catalyst that spurred the rapid adoption of telemedicine. Although the technology has been available for generations it is only since the pandemic, has the use of telemedicine become mainstream. The demand for telemedicine was primarily driven by government-imposed mobility restrictions, but even as those restrictions begin to lax there remains a clear patient driven demand for telemedicine services. Patients, providers, and even payers have had the opportunity to experience telemedicine on a grand scale and have come to appreciate the convenience and potential high-quality care that telemedicine offers. In the post-COVID telemedicine reality, providers will need to consider the experience that they are providing their patients in this virtual format. The patient experience is a critical component of measuring the quality of a patient’s care. Examining the factors influencing the evolution of telemedicine services and how best to cater to patients’ perception of their care is of great public health significance, as it impacts both a provider’s clinical and financial outcomes.
