Health IT vendor Athenahealth has launched a dashboard offering users a look at telehealth encounter data generated by its customers, and some of the trends it identified are quite interesting.
Athenahealth’s Telehealth Insights dashboard offers data on trends in telehealth adoption and use among the 60,000 providers using its network. The database includes de-identified data from 18.4 million telehealth appointments. The current dashboard draws on data collected between 11/1/2020 and 1/31/2021, but Athenahealth will update the dataset monthly.
Among the trends identified by the dashboard is a breakdown of telehealth use among various specialties by volume. Mental health topped the list, with 33% of visits being held virtually, followed by primary care (17%), pediatrics (9%), cardiology (7%) and OB/GYN (4%).
