The global acute care telemedicine market is expected to reach USD 60.2 billion by 2030, based on a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 14.8% from 2022 to 2030. Technological development in the healthcare sector, increasing demand for immediate access to medical care, and shortage of specialty physicians especially in developing countries are some factors driving telemedicine growth in an acute care setting.
The COVID-19 pandemic caused the healthcare system to encounter various challenges. The swift adoption of various technologies across countries, driven by the necessity to provide continued medical care in the era of social distancing, has increased the penetration of telemedicine in acute care. In addition, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) increased the coverage of telehealth services through temporary waivers soon after the declaration of COVID-19 as a public health emergency in early 2020 to make it convenient for people to receive medical care while reducing their exposure to the virus in public settings such as hospitals and health care facilities.
Furthermore, the World Health Organization and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) collaborated to produce a universal standard for the usage of telehealth services to address the problem on an international scale. This guideline describes the technological criteria that a telehealth platform must fulfill to deliver accessible telehealth services.
In December 2021, Five Ascension Texas facilities collaborated with the nation’s major multispecialty telemedicine group to offer teleneurology services to their patients. The collaboration was intended to ensure 24/7 access to special neurology care. It will also strengthen on-site neurology treatment by offering doctors, nurses, and other professionals high-definition video consultations with neurologists on demand.
