How virtual care can help combat physician burnout

Holly Davis, Bingham Healthcare CNO, says that while funding and data gaps exist, mobile phones, telemedicine and satellite internet mean that care is not as inaccessible in rural areas as healthcare leaders may think.

Juli Hysenbelli of the HIMSS Virtual Care Community and Kyle Zebley, American Telemedicine Association CEO, say that virtual care has empowered patients to actively engage with providers and shape their own health journeys.

Switching cardiology patients to Bluetooth-enabled medical devices that send data to patient portals is helping to reduce chronic care complexities, says Sutter Health CCIO Dr. Richard Milani and Patient Experience R&D lead Trevor Berceau.
