This survey was created in conjunction with the Wyoming Medical Society (WMS) to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Wyoming healthcare providers. Outcomes measured include business interruptions as a results of COVID-19, practice interruptions, changes in cancellations, changes in reimbursement procedures, supply issues, payroll/cashflow issues, perceptions of state response, telehealth use, among others. Results suggest a significant impact for Wyoming providers with a large potential for the impact of telehealth procedures.
This study sought to gather information from Wyoming telehealth providers about their use of telehealth and their perception of a recent telehealth encounter. Over fifty providers responded to the survey and answered questions about satisfaction, success, ability to address patient needs, results of the encounter, cost savings, and technical issues.
