Event Overview
Course Description:
As the COVID-19 pandemic swept through the country, people were encouraged to visit their providers for essential services only. This occurrence prompted relaxation of prior regulations, increased reimbursements and accelerated the utilization of telehealth. And consumers, for the great part, responded favorably to telemedicine. The convenience had great appeal. Now, most everyone believes that telehealth is here to stay. But are the technology solutions and approaches selected by providers and healthcare organizations at the onset of the crisis yielding optimal value and ROI? Will they be sustainable? Join us as we look at some of the recent trends and patterns and future predictions. In addition, we will explore use cases and ideas for maximizing the value of telehealth in various healthcare sectors, empowering you to support your clients as they navigate this new healthcare delivery reality.
Learning Objectives:
• Identify at least three trends and patterns that have arisen during the pandemic regarding telehealth utilization.
• Describe at least three anticipated changes anticipated with telehealth moving forward post COVID.
• Identify questions to ask to identify sustainable versus nonsustainable telehealth solutions.
• Identify technology characteristics, use cases, and tactical approaches for maximizing the value of telehealth as a part of one’s routine care delivery model in different healthcare sectors.
