Doximity Report Confirms That Telemedicine Serves Key Role in Modern Health Care

By: via Business Wire

Physicians report telemedicine boosts access, contributes to better disease management, and improves patient outcomes

Doximity, Inc. (NYSE: DOCS), the leading digital platform for U.S. medical professionals, today released its State of Telemedicine Report, showing that 83% of physician telemedicine users surveyed would like virtual care to remain a permanent part of their clinical practice. Among physicians surveyed, 84% highlighted telemedicine’s value in improving continuity of care for patients with chronic or complex conditions, and 96% emphasized its role as a complement to or, depending on the patient, a replacement for in-person care.

As part of the study, Doximity analyzed the adoption of its telemedicine tools across its physician membership and surveyed both physician telemedicine users and patients about their experiences.* Both physicians and patients reported telemedicine has increased access to health care services and strengthened physician-patient communications. The majority of physicians also reported telemedicine has contributed to better disease management, improved patient outcomes and satisfaction, and better or equivalent adherence to treatment plans.

“While in-person care continues to be a cornerstone of health care delivery, telemedicine serves as a valuable complement to this care,” said Nate Gross, MD, co-founder and chief strategy officer at Doximity. “Findings from this study indicate that telemedicine and in-person care are allies, not competitors, in providing timely, comprehensive, and patient-focused care.”

Key Findings from Physician Survey:

  • The majority of physicians surveyed (67%) reported telemedicine has contributed to better disease management. This figure rises to 77% among oncologists, with a quarter of oncology telemedicine users reporting the technology has contributed to earlier diagnosis and intervention.
  • Nearly 84% of physician telemedicine users reported telemedicine has increased patient satisfaction in their practice.
  • Nearly two-thirds (64%) of physician telemedicine users reported telemedicine has improved patient outcomes in their practice, with only 1% reporting worsened outcomes.
  • More than two-thirds (69%) of physician telemedicine users surveyed reported it has helped them better understand and address their patients’ social determinants of health, with an additional 25% agreeing they believe it can help.

Key Findings from Patient Survey:

  • More than three out of four patients surveyed (78%) – regardless of past telemedicine experience – indicated that they would like access to virtual care options in the future. This figure rises to 95% among patients who had a telemedicine visit in the past year.
  • In the survey, 95% of patients with a telemedicine visit in the past year said it maintained or improved their care satisfaction, and 96% reported equivalent or better overall medical care.
  • Among patients who received some form of virtual care in the past year, 78% said it improved their access to health care services, 82% said it helped them keep up with their care, and 74% reported better communication with their providers.
