Virtual healthcare has become inevitable, especially for people who need long-term care or post-acute care treatment. According to McKinsey & Company, healthcare my shift from facility to home by 2025. Up to US$265 billion worth of care services in the US for Medicare FFS and MA beneficiaries may shift from traditional facilities to home by 2025.
The surging healthcare expenses for facilities and the COVID-19 pandemic are two main drivers that have pushed more care services to home for virtual healthcare. The use of telehealth in 2021 was around 30-40 times higher than during the pandemic times, says the report.
