Is the healthcare industry selling telemedicine short?

Telemedicine usage has been stagnating at 10-20%, according to a study conducted by healthcare consultant Sage Growth Partners. The survey found that the use of telemedicine for initial consultations has dropped to 11%, and while there’s growth in follow-up care and chronic care management, the report suggests healthcare providers aren’t maximising the technology’s potential. Providers should consider telehealth as a workflow solution, rather than just a technology, to increase its usage and improve patient outcomes.
