Virtual Health, Where We Need To Go
December 20, 2019
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
Virtual Health, Where We Need To Go
December 20, 2019
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
