Doctors continue to embrace telemedicine,
reporting significant patient access and time management
benefits
Doximity, Inc. (NYSE: DOCS), the leading digital platform for
U.S. medical professionals, today released its 2023 State of
Telemedicine Report, revealing that nearly 88% of U.S. physicians
surveyed believe telemedicine has increased patient access to
health care, particularly among populations that may have faced
barriers to care previously. The study also found a number of
physician time-management benefits, such as improved schedule
management, productivity, and autonomy and work-life balance.
As part of the study, Doximity analyzed the adoption of its
telemedicine tools across its physician users and surveyed both
patients and physicians about their experiences with telemedicine.*
Physicians reported several patient access benefits, with the
majority reporting reduced patient no-show rates and equivalent or
better adherence to treatment plans. Patients with telemedicine
experience in the past year also reported greater access to health
care services and higher satisfaction with their care.
“Telemedicine helps doctors provide care to a wide range of
patients, including many who need increased access to care,” said
Nate Gross, MD, co-founder and chief strategy officer at Doximity.
“The results of our study suggest a permanent role for
telemedicine, with benefits to productivity, work-life balance and
equitable access.”
Physician adoption highlights:
- The majority of physicians surveyed (61%) reported a reduction
in their patient no-show rates as a result of telemedicine.
- 77% of physicians said they have observed either equivalent or
improved patient adherence to treatment plans with telemedicine,
with less than 2% reporting decreased adherence.
- Over 83% of physicians surveyed found telemedicine useful in
enhancing continuity of care for patients with complex or chronic
conditions, and nearly two-thirds (65%) said telemedicine improved
communication with their patients.
- The majority of physicians surveyed (57%) use telemedicine to
discuss lab and test results and treatment options with their
patients, and this figure is even higher among oncologists (70%).
Physicians also use telemedicine for medication management, remote
patient monitoring, patient triage and urgent care.
Patient adoption highlights:
- Among patients who had a telemedicine visit within the past
year, 85% reported their overall care was superior or equivalent
with virtual care.
- 70% of all patients surveyed said they may be more likely to
consult with a doctor in a non-emergency situation if the visit
could be conducted virtually.
- 83% of patients who participated in a telemedicine visit in the
past year reported they expect to maintain or increase their usage
of telemedicine in the future.
