94.6% of Hospitals Have Countered Physician Shortages with Telemedicine Programs


Telemedicine also provides high patient satisfaction. 87.3% of the survey respondents reported patients are either satisfied or very satisfied with their telemedicine care. That said, there is room for improvement. The survey found that 32.9% of Northeast and 13.5% of Southwest respondents feel their patient telemedicine satisfaction needs improvement. Small hospitals (under 100 beds) also have a lower patient satisfaction rate of 76.9%. The top telemedicine implementation challenges include:

  • Program infrastructure resources (60%)
  • Slow physician response times (52.7%)
  • Poor technology integration (18.2%)

Despite noted challenges, survey participants recognized many telemedicine advantages. The study found that each region of the country has a different benefit that they value most.

  • Southeast: Improved Access to Care (46.8%)
  • Southwest: Enhanced Specialty Services (48.7%)
  • Northwest: Improved Clinical Retention (54.4%)
  • Midwest: Improved Clinician Recruiting (47.3%)

“Telemedicine is the solution hospitals struggling with physician shortages need to increase vital access to care in both large and small facilities,” said Jason Povio, President and COO, Eagle Telemedicine. “The high patient satisfaction rates and diverse hospital benefits make telemedicine programs a transformational option to improve hospital sustainability while improving patient outcomes.”

All findings can be found in the Eagle 2023 Telemedicine Adoption Survey available for free download. For more information on the survey findings, join Eagle Telemedicine for the webinar “Meeting the Growing Physician Specialty Shortage” to be held live on August 30 at 2 p.m. EDT. Register here.
