Virtual care’s role in providing specialty care after COVID-19

The new services will be covered beyond the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the American Telemedicine Association said more needs to be done concerning remote patient monitoring.

The Indian government has advocated the use of digital tools to accelerate virtual care, including telehealth, and address the shortage of hospital beds, says professor Krishnan Ganapathy, director of Apollo Telehealth Services, India.

Sri Bharadwaj, vice president of digital innovation at the Franciscan Alliance, explains why the telehealth and digital health innovations that were accelerated during the pandemic are here to stay.
