Telehealth is the new normal
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, telehealth has gained recognition as an effective and sustainable solution for slowing the spread of the virus. Telehealth enables communication through virtual channels, protecting the public and the medical staff on the frontlines; bridging the gaps between patients, physicians, and health systems.
A recent report by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Health Research Insights (HRI) seems to prove that telehealth seems to be the new norm. Among the patients surveyed who used telehealth for the first time during the pandemic, 88 percent said they would use it again.
Similarly, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends the use of telehealth solutions for non-urgent communication to reduce facing overcrowded facilities, and the World Health Organization (WHO), has called telemedicine an essential service in their “Strengthening the health system response to COVID-19” policy.
