Telemedicine also extends the reach of quality care to access to patients in rural locations and makes it easier for a limited number of doctors to diagnose and treat a large number of patients in diverse, far-reaching geographic locations with minimal travel. Doctors spend just 27% of their time treating patients—the rest is spent on administrative tasks. Level 1-3 visits take up precious office hours, resulting in longer wait times for patients with more demanding needs. By using telemedicine for straightforward, low-complexity visits like maintenance check-ins and prescription refills, doctors can reserve in-person time for level 4 and level 5 visits.
