Abstract

The increase in telemedicine adoption has been driven by expanding reimbursements, the shortage of physicians due to the growing and aging population, the increase in insurance enrollment, changing health care delivery models, and technological innovations.

Telemedicine offers promise in reducing costs, increasing accessibility to care, and reducing the risk of healthcare-associated infections. Telehealth is explicitly listed as a strategy in three out of the four goals in the Health & Human Services’ Federal Health IT Strategic Plan for 2015–2020.
