Telehealth Index: 2017 Consumer Survey

October 10, 2017

American Well’s new consumer survey finds a growing vanguard of consumers who are willing to switch doctors
in order to get video visits as part of their care. And the majority of consumers are increasingly open to video
visits. With the market value of telehealth expected to hit $36.2 billion by 2020, our survey highlights consumers’
desire to use video visits across a range of medical needs.1 Consumers believe telehealth is effective for managing
minor healthcare concerns like refilling prescriptions and for managing complex, ongoing issues like chronic
conditions.
American Well commissioned Harris Poll to conduct two online studies among over 4,000 adults. The results are
weighted to be representative of the American adult population across standard demographics.

Measuring and Improving Postive Social Impact of Health Information Exchange

July 27, 2017

Most agree that HIE’s have the potential to eliminate redundant and often harmful medical procedures. Some suggest that HIE’s are a critical component for any organization offering valued-based care and pop health services.

Many organizations are attempting to show value by measuring the volume of transactions and some are trying to showing how HIE's can create greater efficiencies from a cost savings perspective. These efforts are likely to fall short of what’s truly needed.

Adopting the rigor of a continuous process improvement approach to measure the value of investments is necessary to ensure continued sustainability of HIE's - at the state and community level. This resource can help provide with the basic building blocks to get started and a roadmap to ensure future success

Payment models should support patient freedom to choose how they wish to receive services. Additionally, payment models should support the physician’s ability to direct the patient toward the appropriate service modality in accordance with the current standard of care.
