Top 3 Common Patient barriers to telehealth adoption ppt
                     Top 3 Common 
Patient Barriers 
To Telehealth 
Adoption
Telehealth
 Telehealth increases access to both general 
and specialized healthcare services remotely.
 It delivers rural areas, offers provides greater 
flexibility in scheduling, and saves patients’ 
time and money.
 In addition, it complements conventional 
healthcare practices, especially during the 
time of a global pandemic. 
 Though telehealth’s for medical specialties 
help reduce both location and time-specific 
barriers, there are several patient barriers that 
prevent patients from making the most of 
telehealth services. 
Confidentiality and Privacy
 Patients have reservations about data 
security issues over telehealth platforms.
 They might be apprehensive about sharing 
their personal information and health 
information via online video conferencing 
since they’re unaware of the federal 
regulations like HIPAA compliance for 
telehealth software that ensures patient 
data security. 
 HIPAA-compliant telehealth apps like 
OnCallMD provides advanced telehealth 
services for a wide range of medical 
specialties along with patient data security 
features in line with the established federal 
regulations.
Computer or eHealth Literacy
 Awareness about telehealth, e-literacy, 
and accessibility to the right technology 
are few of the major barriers in the 
adoption of telehealth services among 
patients in the U.S.
 More often, elderly patients have a lack of 
exposure to new technology like video 
conferencing and virtual chats.
 Likewise, patients across all age-group 
share a common perspective that 
telemedicine would not be as effective as 
in-person visit to a doctor’s office.
  As a result, providers will need to consider 
and accommodate their patients’ which 
results in promoting telehealth services.
Dan McDyer, MD - OnCallMD
 OnCallMD’s Chief Medical Officer, Dan 
McDyer, MD, is ensuring that the 
obstacles to patient telehealth adoption 
are minimized with our platform.
 “We spend a lot of effort and programming 
time to create solutions to these barriers.
 That is why we have focused on 
maintaining a simple account enrollment 
process and intuitive use of the platform to 
create a friendly and simple user 
experience so that e-literacy is not a 
barrier and so that this change in the 
approach to obtaining healthcare becomes 
a preferred point of access for patients and 
physicians alike.”
Resistance to Change
 Technology-acceptance is a huge factor that 
affects telehealth adoption among patients.
 Incentives and rewards can encourage patients to 
opt for telehealth services as and when required.
 Providers can promote remote healthcare via 
telehealth apps from the convenience of patients’ 
homes in order to save time and expenses.
 “Statistically speaking, over 60% of patients 
recently surveyed would prefer to speak with their 
own, familiar health care provider rather”, said 
David Hanowski, CEO of OnCallMD.
 HIPAA-Compliant OnCallMD is closely working with 
leading healthcare institutions and providers from 
different medical specialties to improve the rate of 
telehealth adoption among patients in the U.S.
