“Dr. Chris Gallagher, a cardiologist and CEO of SOC Telemed, sees ‘the power of telemedicine to change patients’ lives and make a real difference to hospitals’ bottom lines.’
Everyone in healthcare is well aware of the specialists shortage crisis in the industry today. There just are not enough physician specialists to treat all the patients in need, especially ones in rural areas.
One solution to this pressing challenge is telemedicine. This technology – which has finally gone mainstream, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic – can spread the expertise of specialists far and wide.”
The U.S. Physician Shortage Is Only Going to Get Worse. Here Are Potential Solutions
“If you’ve recently had to wait longer to see a doctor than you used to, that may not be entirely because of the COVID-19 pandemic. America is experiencing a physician shortage, and it’s only expected to get worse—a concerning situation that could lead to poorer health outcomes for many patients.
Data published in 2020 by the Association of American Medical Colleges estimates that the U.S. could see a shortage of 54,100 to 139,000 physicians by 2033. That shortfall is expected to span both primary- and specialty-care fields.”
