Let's discuss the trusty pager—an old favorite that’s losing its shine in hospitals and clinics.

Three-quarters of patients who obtained healthcare virtually during the pandemic said they want it to be a standard part of care in the future. The result lends weight to the ongoing conversation around telehealth. A Kyruus survey of 1,000 patients found that more than 75% said they were very or completely satisfied with the virtual care they'd received, and 96% said it was somewhat, very or extremely easy to arrange a visit.

In addition, they did not know how to identify high-risk patients early on in their disease, nor did they know the timeline for expected needs in terms of escalation of care.
