Most patients want tech-savvy and friendly doctors: poll

What's wrong, doctor?

Before seeing a new doctor, 38% of her respondents said she browsed the clinic's website, and 74% relied on her online reviews when choosing a new caretaker. . 

After booking, 59% of respondents were more likely to pay their bill sooner if they had an online option, and 44% preferred accessing test results online or through a portal said. 

People also take ``mental notes'' (67%) about how charming and personable their doctors are.

Of her 5 respondents, 2 said they would see a new doctor due to a change in insurance, but 35% left to find a 'better' doctor. .

Nearly four in five (79%) respondents stressed the importance of timelessness and waiting time.

Overall, 90% said it was important for doctors to use the latest technology. So much so that 61% of respondents said the ability to schedule an appointment online was a deciding factor in whether or not to stay at a hospital. Office for new things.

They also want telehealth to remain an option in a post-pandemic world. 67% of respondents feel that regular virtual visits are less effective than in-person visits, while 22% believe virtual visits are useful for urgent or time-sensitive visits.

But the average patient gives the doctor her four chances before looking elsewhere.

“Patients are increasingly interested in taking a greater role in managing their health care. From scheduling their own appointments to accessing medical records, From phone calls to payment, there is a growing desire for patient participation,” Kane continued.

Additionally, 36% of those surveyed preferred follow-up I prefer email.

When requesting a prescription refill, 46% prefer to do it via an app, with two of her five wanting to message their doctor online.
