Telehealth

This week's top stories include ex-CEO Cyrus Massoumi claiming his former Zocdoc colleagues coordinated a plan to replace him, a large uptick in targeted attacks against telehealth systems, and a NorthShore University HealthSystem data breach.

Thinking about telehealth as a site of care is a philosophical consideration for those looking to sustain success with the care model.

The commission, which advises Congress on issues affecting Medicare, put forth a number of options aimed at maximizing care access while minimizing risk.

Search functions let the public know where to find telehealth options, according to Google Health Chief Health Officer Dr. Karen DeSalvo.

A George Mason University professor argues in a new report that hurdles to entrepreneurial exploration are slowing telehealth expansion.

This week's top stories include California passing a law mandating a 45-day supply of PPE, digital health company GoodRX filing to go public, and healthcare execs naming telehealth as their No. 1 pandemic tech problem.

The law is meant to ensure that healthcare doesn't buckle under the weight of any future pandemics or public health crises.

Telehealth plays an increasingly critical part in treating patients, improving health outcomes and lowering costs.

Other major challenges include remote patient monitoring, interoperability, real-time data analytics, work-from-home resources and patient surveillance, according to a new KLAS report.

While barriers remain, the forced use of digital health services during the health crisis leaves an opportunity for provider adoption.
