One of the
silver linings
of the COVID-19 pandemic has been the normalization and expansion of virtual care. Per a December 2021 report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, amid the pandemic, virtual care visits increased to 52.7 million in 2020 from approximately 840,000 in 2019. Even after more than two years since the start of the pandemic, the COVID-19 Healthcare Coalition reports seven out of 10 people still expect to receive care virtually.
This trend has inspired UnitedHealthcare, the nation’s largest health insurer, to create new health plans that place virtual care at the center. "What is new in this space is health plans centered around virtual care, offered as a choice to employees in open enrollment," says Dr. Rhonda Randall, executive vice president and chief medical officer at UnitedHealthcare Employer & Individual. "It’s important that we recognize the key role virtual care plays in patients’ health care strategies."
As Randall explains, the scope of virtual care has expanded beyond an urgent-care alternative—it’s now a robust part of medical, behavioral, and even dental care. Workplace health plan offerings are changing accordingly: Per UnitedHealthcare, six in 10 employers currently offer plans that provide access to virtual care.
As a part of UnitedHealthcare’s new virtual-first plans, patients get live navigation support to help them determine which care option is best and to provide access to in-person care if needed. "We have invested in a true connectedness between virtual care and brick-and-mortar providers," Randall says, "so it’s a seamless experience for patients."
And there are benefits: According to Randall, doctors find that virtual appointments promote continuity of care, particularly for those managing chronic conditions. "A primary care provider might want to see patients in person once or twice a year—but they can have virtual check-ins in between," she says.
Virtual care has also helped conquer a major hurdle to behavioral health care: access. "There are 10 times more licensed mental health care professionals per 100,000 people in Massachusetts than in Mississippi," Randall cites. "If we increase that access from urban to rural areas," she says, "and bring that care to broader populations, that will really help."
With more and more people choosing virtual-first health plans, it’s becoming clear that virtual care is a crucial part of addressing evolving health care needs. "Virtual-first plans will become more common as employers realize they can help cut costs, doctors see their effectiveness, and patients enjoy their convenience," Randall says. "They are a revolutionary component of our health system, with an important role to play in the future of health care."
The author’s attitude towards virtual care is one of________.
选项
A、tolerance
B、cautiousness
C、impartiality
D、appreciation
答案
D
解析
态度题。解答态度题应着眼于全文。文章介绍虚拟医疗,且提到了其积极影响。第七段第一句指出,虚拟医疗是解决不断变化的医疗保健需求的关键。说明作者对虚拟医疗是非常看重的,也就是非常欣赏的,全文也多次提到虚拟医疗的各类好处,故选项D项正确。其他三个选项均不能概括作者的态度,故排除。故本题答案为D项。
