VA CIO Dominic Cussatt says the agency was well-positioned to offer telemedicine to patients.
According to Dr. Sy Saeed, executive director at the ECU Center for Telepsychiatry, 75% of lifetime disorders begin before the age of 18, with an average of 49% having no access to care.
Juli Hysenbelli of the HIMSS Virtual Care Community and Kyle Zebley, American Telemedicine Association CEO, say that virtual care has empowered patients to actively engage with providers and shape their own health journeys.
Switching cardiology patients to Bluetooth-enabled medical devices that send data to patient portals is helping to reduce chronic care complexities, says Sutter Health CCIO Dr. Richard Milani and Patient Experience R&D lead Trevor Berceau.
