A vast majority of healthcare consumers are willing to return for virtual care visits; however, demand appears to exceed supply, with nearly half of health systems saying they offer the same or fewer virtual visits today compared to 2022, according to new research from Deloitte. The survey results show that though the proportion of consumers who had a virtual health visit in the previous year increased only slightly from 42% in 2022 to 44% in 2024, the willingness to continue using virtual health services has increased significantly. In 2024, most consumers (94%) expressed willingness to have another virtual visit, up from 80% in 2020. What's your perspective on virtual care visits? In what situations do they work well, or not so well? Click to read more about the study: https://loom.ly/mJV0CSM
