Inventions in Telemedicine Shaping the Post-Pandemic Landscape: A Complete Review of Its Revolution and Influence in the USA

Background: In 2020, telemedicine use in the U.S. was noticeably hindered by real-world barriers and limitations, primarily in establishing consistent patient monitoring protocols and the conflicts in compensation infrastructures. Such restrictions exaggerated the tele-service delivery value and damaged its long-term integration into average clinical practice. The COVID-19 pandemic catalysed a surprising telehealth evolution, restoring healthcare allocation. This review studies telemedicine's progression, influence, and approaches to guidelines in the USA.

Methods: A narrative analysis of 19 review papers from PubMed, Google Scholar, and U.S. health agency databases (CDC, CMS, HHS) from 2010-2024 using keywords: Telemedicine, telehealth, COVID-19, remote care, and healthcare policy. It encompassed peer-reviewed studies, strategy guidelines, and administrative reports.

Results: According to the CDC, telehealth adoption in the United States progressed by 150% in 2020, linked to lowered monitoring obligations and heightened patient-reported needs. Following the pandemic, hybrid models of care have reached a steady state, most remarkably in mental health support and chronic disease management. Also, ongoing inequities are described by the digital divide affecting rural and underserved people, and enhanced stress experienced by clinicians and healthcare workers.

Conclusion: Nowadays, Telemedicine has developed an essential component in the U.S. healthcare landscape; nevertheless, its continued victory depends on closing inequality gaps, refining regulatory methods and approaches, and improving collective knowledge.
