Benchmarking Telehealth Usage in Virginia

As part of ongoing efforts to monitor the impact of telehealth on Virginia’s patients and providers, the Virginia Telehealth Network (VTN) conducts an annual “Benchmarking Telehealth Usage in Virginia” survey of actively practicing licensed providers across the Commonwealth. This research effort is designed to help us better understand Virginia’s current and future needs with virtual care.

  • An in-depth follow-up survey was sent to respondents that opted in, segmented for behavioral/mental health care professionals (N=574) and all other health care providers (N=147).
  • Qualitative interviews with health care professionals about their use of telehealth throughout the pandemic.
