COVID-19 has served as an impetus for the explosion and Ubiquity of Telehealth. The popularity of this service, in return, has set the stage for new iterations of Telehealth, with each round accruing new benefits of the technology. And while Telehealth may not deliver a ‘human touch’, it does deliver some enhanced service benefits that cannot be matched by in-person sessions. Do expect more benefits as the technology evolve!
If you are a health care organization that has not considered investing in the infrastructure to support telehealth, you could be missing a crucial advantage. It’s worth taking a second look!
