What do patients really think about telehealth? Chances are good that if you received healthcare at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, at least one of your visits was through telehealth. Whether you had a great experience, a good experience or a horrible experience depends on a large number of factors. These include things like:
- The adequacy of your internet connection.
- The type of software and technology that was used.
- Your comfort level and experience using telehealth technologies.
- The comfort level and experience of your clinician in delivering telehealth services.
- The type of assistance you were provided to prepare you for a telehealth visit.
