Research from AthenaHealth (September 2022) shows that patients with chronic conditions were 88 percent more likely to adopt telehealth than non-chronic patients in 2022. About 23 percent said their visits were regular check-ins for chronic conditions, and 9 percent said they used telehealth for ad hoc check-ins related to chronic conditions.
“Telehealth has become a key tool that is now engrained across the healthcare continuum. It will never replace in-person care, but rather it will continue to be an extension of in-person care and help healthcare providers maintain and enhance the ever-evolving patient-provider relationship,” said Jessica Sweeney-Platt, vice president of research and editorial strategy at AthenaHealth.
