PURCHASE, NY, Sept. 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In new research released today by Teladoc Health (NYSE: TDOC), the global leader in whole-person virtual care, U.S. employers with 2,500 or more employees reported a 21% increase in the implementation of additional virtual care offerings over the past 18 months, with 77% stating they plan to increase their investment in virtual care over the next three years.<\/p>\n

The findings are part of the company\u2019s second annual Virtual Care Transformation Index, a survey of more than 300 human resource decision makers that highlights the perception, adoption and advancement of whole-person virtual healthcare in benefits programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor employers, the stakes are high when it comes to making sure quality healthcare is always within reach,\u201d said Kelly Bliss, Teladoc Health US Group Health President. \u201cWhen we first initiated this study, employers were only starting to realize the value and potential of a whole-person virtual care strategy. Amidst continued workforce pressures and economic uncertainty, employers expect to build integrated, high value benefits strategies that fit the diverse needs of their entire population. The study found notable growth in the percentage of employers offering a broader suite of virtual care services and reinforced employers\u2019 desire to manage a minimal number of vendors who can offer comprehensive services. Compared to last year, today\u2019s employers are expected to build innovative, high-value benefits strategies within the context of even more challenging market trends.\u201d<\/p>\n
