What is clear is that in person and virtual treatment are not oppositional forces to be pitted against one another, but rather two halves of the same coin as both serve an important purpose — getting help to those who need it.
At a recent panel discussion, healthcare executives agreed that telehealth will remain an important part of care delivery post-pandemic, so now is the time for providers to figure out how best to incorporate these services alongside in-person care. Actionable data will prove to be a key resource for providers as they tweak their strategies.
