Time is relative of course but 17 seconds isn’t very long (unless you are underwater or in terrible pain or…)
But Dr. Miles Jones of Net Doctor International told me that on average, we only have 17 seconds to explain our situation to our doctor before he or she takes over the conversation.
And then the whole visit is only 13 minutes including the greeting, checking the chart, small talk and writing up the new information.
That’s just one of the reasons that Dr. Jones is an advocate on on-line healthcare. For more, listen to the podcast from the Cleveland Clinic Medical Innovation Summit.
