Virtual Health, Where We Need To Go Rather than programs approaching us with local ideas, VH bring a coordinated and systematic approach to virtual care into the health care system Mandate integration of VH into clinical programs To increase access to under-served areas Such mandates as mental health We now live in a society where VH is no longer a novel idea, but a necessary component of care delivery December 20, 2019
Virtual Health, Where We Need To Go Risks to not addressing this now We run the risk of falling behind the technologies Patients and providers are at risk of doing their own virtual encounters Uncoordinated, episodic, risking fragmentation of patient care, compromising the patient’s medical home Patients first, economic climate – this is our opportunity December 20, 2019
