Telemedicine during COVID-19 Pandemic - Trend Analysis_2
Introduction
COVID-19 was formally declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization
(WHO) on March 11, 2020. As of September 7, the WHO has reported over 27
million cases, with a cumulative mortality rate of 3.26% [1]. In the context of
infectious disease outbreaks such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, concerns
regarding the overloading of health care facilties, coupled with the need to
minimize patient and health care provider exposure in hospital care settings have
led to calls for a shift from the traditional patient-physician face-to-face physical
consultations to telehealth-based remote clinical services [2-6]. However, the
magnitude of this major shift in health care management has yet to be evaluated.
Public interest in and potential demand for telehealth services are relatively
unknown [7,8]. This information gap poses challenges for health care providers to
redesign strategies, institute new policies, and restructure manpower and
infrastructure to address a potential “new wave” of clinical needs.

Support for telemedicine
Telemedicine, as an alternative health care delivery option, provides quicker access to
some health care services to ensure patient needs are met during this public health
emergency. Among the many approaches to continue providing needed care in the
wake of physical distancing, telemedicine is an effective, yet underutilized method.
Proponents for telemedicine have argued for years about its potential for reaching
hard-to-reach patients.
Current research has demonstrated that telemedicine services create additional
capacity, greater convenience, and also yield greater use of services when offered via
telemedicine. Some of the striking disparities in access to healthcare have been reduced
when implementing a telemedicine model. There is limited research available which
addresses racial inequities in telemedicine services.
