72% of patients have reported that they are not delaying a doctor visit to discuss a condition. In addition, the majority of patients expect to go to the HCP in the next two months or sooner, while only 37% expected to go in the next two months on April 30.
86% of consumers are comfortable visiting healthcare providers, over twice the confidence of visiting a restaurant or the 36% comfortable attending a public gathering such as a rock concert or sports event.
Physician search has significantly increased across the country from late March. For example, in Nevada, there was an increase of 129%; in Texas, there was an increase of 111%; and in New York an increase of 114%.
