Implementing Telehealth During the COVID-19 Crisis: Where Can You Turn?
Telehealth has always been viewed as a key pillar of the technology-enabled care delivery… of the future. Each year, we have said “This is the year for Telehealth” and that could not be more true than at the current moment. There is an urgent need for solutions that serve and protect patients and providers at the same time. As we know, Telehealth helps hospitals, health systems, LTC and group practices deliver quality care while gaining efficiency, improving patient care and satisfaction, increasing provider satisfaction, reducing risk and decreasing costs.
As 2020 unfolds, with the COVID-19 pandemic severely testing our health-system capacity, telehealth is providing solutions. Virtual care and remote monitoring have taken centerstage during this crisis. Keeping patients home but engaged is especially important along with tracking the health of employees and their return to work status.
Many of the regulatory and reimbursement constraints that have created barriers to telehealth adoption prior to COVID-19 have been eased. There is increased grant funding available as well. Our hospital systems and other organizations need to leverage technology to deliver care during social distancing efforts to prevent the spread of the virus. Many vendors are offering low cost and deeply discounted plans to help meet these needs.
Finding the right Telehealth vendor to best meet your organization’s needs can still be a challenge. How do you find the right vendor during a crisis? Can you afford the time to research and vet those companies so you don’t make a mistake that costs time and money?
