Key Takeaways
Patients will continue to address their need for healthcare—and patient education is seen as a key part of that care now more than before
COVID has increased HCPs' need/desire to educate patients, with 67% increasing their use of patient education materials While use of telemedicine increased during COVID, it is expected to become additive to previous patient traffic volumes Telehealth and other digital point-of- care platforms will be key in delivering key information such as safety and savings messages
