The completion of this compliance assessment comes at a critical time. A recent study by Frost & Sullivan reports telehealth is expected to grow sevenfold by 2025. Consumers are quickly adapting to new technologies with a 76% satisfaction rate reported by a recent survey form McKinsey & Company. The Covid-19 pandemic continues to accelerate this trend, with healthcare companies moving patient interactions to digital channels in order to facilitate contactless care while maintaining the high standard of service that patients demand.
