The Medicare Telehealth Trends dataset provides information about people with Medicare who used telehealth services between January 1, 2020 and June 30, 2024. The data were used to generate the Medicare Telehealth Trends Report.

This statistic shows the number of telehealth visits in the U.S. from 2013 to 2017, and provides a forecast from 2018 to 2022 (low to high estimates). In 2013, the total number of telehealth visits reached some 22 million.

To rapidly monitor recent changes in the use of telemedicine, the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) and the Health Resources and Services Administration’s Maternal and Child Health Bureau (HRSA MCHB) partnered with the Census Bureau on an experimental data system called the Household Pulse Survey. This 20-minute online survey was designed to complement the ability of the federal statistical system to rapidly respond and provide relevant information about the impact of the coronavirus pandemic in the U.S. The U.S. Census Bureau, in collaboration with five federal agencies, launched the Household Pulse Survey to produce data on the social and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on American households. The Household Pulse Survey was designed to gauge the impact of the pandemic on employment status, consumer spending, food security, housing, education disruptions, and dimensions of physical and mental wellness. The survey was designed to meet the goal of accurate and timely estimates. It was conducted by an internet questionnaire, with invitations to participate sent by email and text message. The sample frame is the Census Bureau Master Address File Data. Housing units linked to one or more email addresses or cell phone numbers were randomly selected to participate, and one respondent from each housing unit was selected to respond for him or herself. Estimates are weighted to adjust for nonresponse and to match Census Bureau estimates of the population by age, sex, race and ethnicity, and educational attainment. All estimates shown meet the NCHS Data Presentation Standards for Proportions.

As of 2022, 67 percent of primary care physicians in the United Kingdom reported seeing more than a quarter of their patients through telehealth in a typical week, the highest share among selected high-income countries. On the other hand, 28 percent of physicians in France and 18 percent of physicians in the U.S. reported not using telehealth at all.

According to a survey carried out among U.S. physicians, 65 percent of respondents had not used telehealth prior to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the peak of the pandemic, 43 percent of physicians were seeing over 50 percent of their patients via telehealth technology. In the future, 43 percent forecast they will use telehealth for between 10 and 49 percent of appointments.

The Telehealth market size was valued at USD 83.5 billion in 2022 and will be USD 513.85 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 25.5% during the forecast period. Factors Affecting Telehealth Market Growth

Increasing digitizing and government initiatives boost the telehealth market growth:

The telehealth market is expected to expand over the projected time, due to expanding government efforts for remote patient monitoring and healthcare digitization. For instance, the government launched a national telemedicine service or eSanjeevaniOPD achieved 8 core teleconsultation as per 2022 report. The global market is anticipated to develop as a result of increasing government and non-government organization efforts encouraging widespread usage of telehealth and remote patient monitoring services for long term care services. As a result, this component spurs telehealth market expansion.

Increasing expenditure on healthcare boosts the telehealth market growth:

Increasing chronic disease along with growing geriatric population drive up healthcare costs dramatically. Additionally, a significant amount is allocated to those with chronic and mental illness. Furthermore, the situation is the same in every nation. The demand for technology driven systems that can deliver high quality healthcare while also lowering cost has surged as a result of this. Telehealth is quickly implemented in all healthcare facilities because it satisfactorily satisfies objectives. The market will most certainly expand due to above mentioned factors.

The Restraining Factor of Telehealth:

Technology barrier hampers the market growth:

Despite the immense potential of teleconsultation, infrastructure and technological limitations are major impediments to the market growth in developing and under developing countries. Development of digital health platforms necessitates the use of cutting-edge telecommunication equipment, high speed internet with a lot of bandwidth and storage space for storing and transmitting medical data, all of which are still in short supply in many developing nations. A significant market limitation is the high cost of implementing the required system, devices and equipment connected with real time measurement of healthcare data.

Opportunities on Infection control:

Growing AI & ML algorithms

Healthcare services are becoming more customized as a result of widespread use of artificial intelligence ( AL) and machine learning (ML) algorithms. For example, Haldoc’s telehealth platform, which is used in conjunction with AL, gives its doctors feedback from patients on their consultants and offers training programmes that aid in performance improvement. In order to accelerate the adoption of telehealth services and applications, numerous insurance companies and healthcare providers have partnered to create innovation methods. As a result the component spurs market expansion.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Telehealth Market:

The worldwide telemedicine market has grown favourably as a result of covid-19. Additionally, the number of patients visiting hospitals and clinics has reduced due to the postponement and cancellation of elective surgeries and appointments. In order to interact with their patients and accelerate market growth, doctors urgently need to utilize telehealth. In the year following the outbreak of pandemic, demand for healthcare products and services rose to an all time high. In addition, technology like telemedicine, chatbots and others are being used to help with information gathering, population reassurance, patients’ treatment and diagnosis. Additionally, several nations are funding cutting edge digital and telecommunication systems to link doctors remotely. As a result, it is anticipated to have a favourable effect over the projection period. Introduction of Telehealth

Telehealth is a revolutionary approach to healthcare that utilizes online communication and information tools to manage medical treatment and healthcare services remotely. It involves the use of various technologies such as computers, smartphones, and tablets, which allow patients to receive medical attention from the comfort of their homes or remote locations. Telehealth services can be accessed from a clinic or mobile van by healthcare providers such as nurses, doctors, and other healthcare professionals. The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, a...

The Research and Development Survey (RANDS) is a platform designed for conducting survey question evaluation and statistical research. RANDS is an ongoing series of surveys from probability-sampled commercial survey panels used for methodological research at the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). RANDS estimates are generated using an experimental approach that differs from the survey design approaches generally used by NCHS, including possible biases from different response patterns and sampling frames as well as increased variability from lower sample sizes. Use of the RANDS platform allows NCHS to produce more timely data than would be possible using traditional data collection methods. RANDS is not designed to replace NCHS’ higher quality, core data collections. Below are experimental estimates of telemedicine access and use for three rounds of RANDS during COVID-19. Data collection for the three rounds of RANDS during COVID-19 occurred between June 9, 2020 and July 6, 2020, August 3, 2020 and August 20, 2020, and May 17, 2021 and June 30, 2021. Information needed to interpret these estimates can be found in the Technical Notes. RANDS during COVID-19 included questions about whether providers offered telemedicine (including video and telephone appointments) in the last 2 months—both during and before the pandemic—and about the use of telemedicine in the last 2 months during the pandemic. As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, many local and state governments discouraged people from leaving their homes for nonessential reasons. Although health care is considered an essential activity, telemedicine offers an opportunity for care without the potential or perceived risks of leaving the home. The National Health Interview Survey, conducted by NCHS, added telemedicine questions to its sample adult questionnaire in July 2020. The Household Pulse Survey (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/covid19/pulse/telemedicine-use.htm), an online survey conducted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic by the Census Bureau in partnership with other federal agencies including NCHS, also reports estimates of telemedicine use during the pandemic (beginning in Phase 3.1, which started on April 14, 2021). The Household Pulse Survey reports telemedicine use in the last 4 weeks among adults and among households with at least one child under age 18 years. The experimental estimates on this page are derived from RANDS during COVID-19 and show the percentage of U.S. adults who have a usual place of care and a provider that offered telemedicine in the past 2 months, who used telemedicine in the past 2 months, or who have a usual place of care and a provider that offered telemedicine prior to the coronavirus pandemic.

This data set includes monthly counts and rates (per 1,000 beneficiaries) of services provided via telehealth, including live audio video, remote patient monitoring, store and forward, and other telehealth, to Medicaid and CHIP beneficiaries, by state. These metrics are based on data in the T-MSIS Analytic Files (TAF). Some states have serious data quality issues for one or more months, making the data unusable for calculating telehealth services measures. To assess data quality, analysts adapted measures featured in the DQ Atlas. Data for a state and month are considered unusable if at least one of the following topics meets the DQ Atlas threshold for unusable: Total Medicaid and CHIP Enrollment, Claims Volume - OT, Procedure Codes - OT Professional. Please refer to the DQ Atlas at http://medicaid.gov/dq-atlas for more information about data quality assessment methods. Cells with a value of “DQ” indicate that data were suppressed due to unusable data. Some cells have a value of “DS”. This indicates that data were suppressed for confidentiality reasons because the group included fewer than 11 beneficiaries.

The COVID-19 health pandemic acted as a punctuated event that spurred rapid change in healthcare delivery, pushing us to adopt new socio-cultural norms and ways of communicating. The pandemic also altered several long-standing structures within healthcare organizations. To better understand peoples’ perceptions of how the pandemic shifted technological structures within healthcare, this study examines a telemedicine (TM) Reddit forum. Analyzing language use on Reddit offered a bottom-up means of examining the public’s feelings, understandings, and conceptualizations of TM. Studying language use provides rich insight into how people experience and make sense of the world around them. We specifically examined three time periods: (1): prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, (2), the two years at the center of the outbreak, wherein TM coverage increased—high-risk COVID, and (3) the point at which COVID-19 community risk levels largely diminished —low-risk COVID. Using LIWC, we studied around 1500 conversations posted in the TM forum from 2015 to 2022. Results reveal how people’s language use and emotions surrounding TM meaningfully shifted over-time, along with the pandemic stages. Specifically, negative emotion language significantly increased and positive emotion language significantly decreased during Time 3—low-risk COVID. Use of body and health words increased throughout the time periods, and there were no significantly differences in cognitive processing words use—which were used very frequently across all time periods. Theoretical and practical implications are offered.

The National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS), conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), collects data on visits to physician offices to describe patterns of ambulatory care delivery in the United States. As part of NAMCS, the Physician Induction Interview collects information about practice characteristics at physician offices. Partway through the 2020 NAMCS, NCHS added questions to the Physician Induction Interview to assess physician experiences related to COVID-19 in office-based settings. The data include nationally representative estimates of experiences related to COVID-19 among office-based physicians in the United States, including: shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE) in the past 3 months; the ability to test for COVID-19 in the past 3 months; providers testing positive for COVID-19 in the past 3 months; turning away COVID-19 patients in the past 3 months; and telemedicine or telehealth technology use before and after March 2020. Estimates were derived from interviews with physicians in periods 3 and 4 of 2020 NAMCS and periods 1 through 4 of 2021 NAMCS, which occurred between December 15, 2020 and May 6, 2022. The data are considered preliminary, and the results may change with the final data release.
