Telemedicine and Primary Care
Telemedicine refers to clinical services provided online by a healthcare professional to a patient who is in a different location. These services can include videoconferencing, email, text, and online patient portals. Since the pandemic, the use of telehealth has increased significantly. A survey conducted in 2022 showed that over 52% of American adults reported using telemedicine at least once for their healthcare, as opposed to less than 2% in 2018. While many patients are willing to embrace the use of telemedicine services, there are still many primary care doctors that are not offering the services. However, a group of Maryland doctors, First Medical Associates, has embraced the future and offers their patients telemedicine options.
