Telehealth’s trajectory – provider's perspectives on the Future
Telehealth is here to stay. In fact, direct to consumer telehealth utilization has settled at 38 times higher than before the pandemic began according to recent data from McKinsey & Company. Providers have shown they can successfully implement technology quickly and consumers want (and expect) to utilize technology to access care moving forward, but where do we go from here?
In this 45-minute webinar, we’ll dig into the most recent trends in utilization data, explore additional ways healthcare organizations can harness telehealth to optimize care delivery and streamline operations, and gain provider perspectives on how they’re looking to take advantage of telehealth solutions in the future.
In this session you’ll learn:
- How the recent surge of COVID infections is impacting telehealth utilization
- Additional ways providers are utilizing telehealth to improve care delivery, clinical outcomes, and healthcare operations
- What providers are looking for in the next generation of telehealth solutions
