Summary
Health professionals showed initial support for telehealth adoption, preferring it for flexibility and accessibility. Further research with larger samples is needed to confirm these findings post-COVID-19.
Area of Science:
- Digital Health
- Health Services Research
- Telemedicine
Background:
- The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the shift towards patient-centric digital health services.
- Exploring health professionals' willingness to adopt digital health delivery models is crucial.
Purpose of the Study:
- To pilot a survey assessing the impact and implementation of telehealth.
- To evaluate health care providers' perspectives on telehealth before and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Main Methods:
- A pilot survey was administered to 26 volunteer health care professionals.
- Nine participants completed the entire survey, which covered demographics, usability, and engagement with telemedicine.
- Participants were randomly assigned to one of four questionnaire designs based on telehealth expertise.
Main Results:
- Telehealth was preferred for follow-ups, consultations, and offered greater flexibility in appointment scheduling.
- Healthcare providers with telehealth experience reported improved accessibility and reduced physical/translational barriers.
- Professionals without prior telehealth experience agreed it could enhance patient care quality and accessibility.
Conclusions:
- Preliminary findings indicate support for a shift towards telehealth services in healthcare.
- No statistically significant results were found due to limited data; larger sample sizes are needed.
- Further research is warranted to understand healthcare professionals' adoption of telemedicine post-COVID-19.

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

1.8K
Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care...
