Telehealth—what originally was implemented as a strategy to reduce the amount of community transmission, has led to an active conversation between healthcare professionals to improve care delivery. What is becoming evident now is a newfound appreciation of the strategic potential that telehealth can bring to the healthcare industry.
One of the biggest trend is around telehealth reimbursement environment, which has drastically improved with the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services bringing telehealth and e-visits on par with in-person visits, along with a relaxing of rules for virtual consultations.
The use of digital health and automated communication tools has also improved healthcare outcomes by reducing no-shows for appointments, increased adherence to medication regimens and targeted interventions during adverse events.
