报告摘要：

The adoption of telemedicine has been accelerated for remote patient monitoring, consultation, diagnosis, and care management since COVID-19 when government-imposed lockdowns and shelter-in-place orders. The transition from pandemic-driven telemedicine reliance to a sustained post-pandemic landscape prompts an exploration of the telemedicine technology tools and challenges faced by physicians in adopting this transformative healthcare approach. This research investigates how telemedicine tools shape physicians' satisfaction and healthcare service. Utilizing the National Electronic Health Records Survey (NEHRS) response data, we employ the Media Richness Theory and Task-Technology Fit model to formulate and empirically test our hypotheses. We find that even as the immediate crisis of COVID-19 recedes, its transformative impact on healthcare persists. Our findings underscore that understanding these technological and perceptual factors like perceived barriers remains critical for optimizing telemedicine's role in future healthcare landscapes. This research contributes to both theory and practice, emphasizing the enduring significance of telemedicine post COVID-19 era.
