It also provides work-life balance for overburdened providers, clinicians sayST. LOUIS, Feb. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Telehealth is effective for managing patients with chronic conditions while also making it easier for healthcare providers to manage their personal and professional lives, according to the results of a new clinician survey from SteadyMD, a telehealth infrastructure provider that powers healthcare leaders and innovators in all 50 states.While telehealth has previously been viewed as primarily suited for acute or minor conditions, 83.6% of clinicians surveyed strongly agreed (45.5%) or somewhat agreed (38.1%) that it is effective for managing chronic conditions.The survey of 134 clinicians across SteadyMD's nationwide network was conducted in January. The results offer insights into the benefits, challenges and potential of telemedicine as it matures into its post-pandemic use cases.As research has repeatedly shown, clinician burnout is having a profound impact across the healthcare landscape, with a 2023 Journal of the American Medical Association study concluding that it is a "potential threat to the ability of the U.S. healthcare system to care for patients." Telemedicine addresses this issue and is attractive to clinicians because it provides the flexibility necessary for a better work-life balance, a fact borne out by the survey. Ninety-four percent of respondents strongly agreed (76.1%) or somewhat agreed (17.9%) with the statement, "I find it easier to manage personal and professional commitments by practicing medicine via telehealth."SteadyMD's clinicians also addressed barriers to practicing across state lines
