Telehealth: Best Consumer Healthcare Experience You've Never Tried, Says J.D. Power Study
...Among those early adopters who are using telehealth, customer satisfaction with the experience ranks among the highest of any consumer category studied by J.D. Power. According to the J.D. Power 2019 U.S. Telehealth Satisfaction Study, telehealth adoption is poised to grow considerably as healthcare consumers continue to use and recommend the service.
“We are looking at telehealth services similar to mobile banking and its early adoption rates"
According to J.D. Power... “Early attempts at trying to convince consumers to bank via their phone failed, and initiatives were abruptly canceled. Now, with mobile banking apps having grown to become the third-most-used application among consumers, we expect telehealth to follow a similar path. Telehealth offers an alternative avenue to receive quality care that is cost efficient and accessible. Once providers and payers refine the formula for awareness and adoption, telehealth will change the landscape of how affordable and quality care is delivered.”
Customer satisfaction with telehealth services is high
The overall customer satisfaction score for telehealth services is 851 (on a 1,000-point scale) and is 900 or higher among 46% of telehealth users. These customer satisfaction scores are among the highest of all healthcare, insurance and financial services industry studies conducted by J.D. Power. Only direct banking customer satisfaction ranks higher, with an average score of 855.
Positive word of mouth is key to increasing adoption
Nearly two-thirds (65%) of telehealth users used the service because they received a positive recommendation from others: friend, family or colleague...
Telehealth works for most consumers using the technology
More than three-fourths (84%) of telehealth users were able to completely resolve their medical concern(s) during their visit and 73% did not experience any issues or problems during their service. While nearly half (49%) of users say there were no barriers that made using telehealth difficult, 87% describe the enrollment process as somewhat/very easy.

Sometimes you just need to get answers from a doctor-- Now!
Symptoms – a sore throat, body aches, headache and congestion – suggested that her daughter (we’ll call her Lisa) might be coming down with the flu.
Lisa lives in the District of Columbia, her mother didn't want to take the chance of infecting her classmates, and she wanted to get a consultation before taking time off from work, and braving the rainy weather. Lisa’s family has health insurance but doesn't have a primary care doctor. Before she was a member of WhatsUpDocConnect, Lisa’s mother would be faced with having to make a judgement call, take time off from work to go to an urgent care clinic, or the ER, or just keep Lisa at home, or send her to school… not knowing which one of the alternatives is the best decision.
As a member of WhatsUpDocConnect, she simply went online to get a consultation with a doctor in less than 20 minutes. The doctor determined she didn't have the flu but was probably just suffering from a mild cold.
Lisa was seen, diagnosed and both Lisa and her mother were out the door of their house in less than an hour to get on with their day.
It's not Just Telemedicine... It's WhatsUpDocConnect
Telemedicine was originally created as a way to treat patients who were located in remote places, far away from local health facilities or in areas with shortages of medical professionals.
While telemedicine is still used today to address these problems, it’s increasingly becoming a tool for convenient medical care. Today’s connected consumer wants to waste less time in the waiting room, traveling to visit the doctor or urgent care clinic, they want to get immediate care for minor but urgent conditions when they need it.
WhatsUpDocConnect is the solution, however, one of the main challenges is explaining that telemedicine is available and how it works. We take a lesson from HBO… when they first started to introduce the service in 1972 cable television was poorly understood, so HBO cleverly came up with “It’s not TV, it’s HBO”
When you speak of telemedicine or telehealth simply use our name-- WhatsUpDocConnect. It’s not Telemedicine, it’s “WhatsUpDocConnect”, It’s not urgent care it’s “WhatsUpDocConnect”.
By using our name, and not using the less understood terms of telemedicine and telehealth you eliminate the need to explain the generic terms of telemedicine and telehealth and at the same time get brand recognition for WhatsUpDocConnect.
