- 요약The arrival of COVID-19 to the U.S. brought a renewed look at telehealth and telemedicine services as a method of conducting virtual healthcare-related visits. While policy barriers have typically hindered widespread adoption of telehealth and telemedicine practices, the federal and state governments as well as public and private insurance payers issued emergency guidance to allow for clinicians and healthcare providers to offer a greater number of their services via virtual visits during the global pandemic. Previous research has studied the usage of telehealth and telemedicine services with policy barriers in place; however, this novel research was some of the first to look at adoption with policy barriers removed due to the COVID-19 public health emergency. Using semi-structured in-depth interviews and through the lens of diffusion of innovations, this research examined the considerations and barriers both private providers and clinicians, as well as Florida Department of Health county offices faced as they decided whether or not to implement telehealth and telemedicine services. Main themes included a forced adoption of virtual services due to the pandemic, connectivity issues in largely rural areas, media literacy issues with older patients and some clinicians, uncertainty surrounding reimbursement policies once the pandemic is declared over, the convenience of not having to travel or interact with a large number of people, the ability to use virtual visits as a "triage" tool, and a heavy reliance on patients' self-reporting. Major implications include the reality that virtual visits will not replace in-person visits wholesale; however, they do provide a solid relative advantage over clinicians, providers, and local health department offices not being able to see their patients at all, and reimbursement rates will determine the continued usage of telehealth.
