SUMMARY:Telehealth Hypergrowth: Will Virtual House Calls Replace Office Visits?
DESCRIPTION:Telehealth Hypergrowth\nWill Virtual House Calls Replace Office Visits?\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Thursday\, October 1\, 2020\n6:00 pm to 8:00 pm \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Using technology to deliver health care from a distance has been available for decades. In recent years\, telehealth usage has steadily increased\, and many large medical groups today offer telehealth services. A growing number of both physicians and patients are satisfied with their telehealth experience and enjoy the convenience and efficiency resulting from removing the need to travel to a doctor’s office. However\, despite its many advantages\, telehealth has been slow to catch on\, partly due to barriers involving regulations and licensing issues. \nWith the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic\, telehealth is suddenly understood to be the safest way to see patients. This realization has been accompanied by the accelerated innovation and adoption of new telehealth technologies\, and the U.S. government has eased regulations regarding reimbursement and licensing. As a result\, the use of video visits has surged dramatically. For example\, the average number of weekly telehealth visits for non-HMO Medicare patients increased from about 13\,000 pre-pandemic to nearly 1.7 million in the last week of April 2020. \nAs a result\, interest in telehealth technology has understandably surged among entrepreneurs and investors. Digital health has quickly become one of the most heavily invested sectors in the startup community\, with telehealth being the number one top-funded category. Is telehealth here to stay or will the excitement dissipate when the pandemic ends? In this online event\, our panel of entrepreneurs\, investors\, and health professionals will discuss the realities\, roadmaps\, and future potential of telehealth. \n\nWhat are the biggest barriers to expanding the adoption of telehealth services?\nHow can telehealth startups gain a competitive advantage over existing platforms?\nHow can extending telehealth services to underserved areas help reduce health disparities?\n\nJoin us on October 1 to find out. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Moderator\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Jack Higgins\, MD – President & Chief Medical Officer\,  Global Telehealth Network \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Panelists\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Brad Younggren\, MD – Chief Medical Officer\, 98point6 \n Albert Chan\, MD – Chief of Digital Patient Experience\, Sutter Health \nAlpa Sanghavi\, MD – Chief Quality and Patient Experience Officer\, San Mateo Medical Center \n Sunny Kumar\, MD – Partner\, GSR Ventures \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Free Online Event \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nA Note about Ticket Sales \n\n\nWe understand that many people may be having a rough time during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore\, the tickets for this online event will be offered free of charge to anyone who is interested in attending. \nNormally\, ticket sales are our main source of revenue\, so VLAB could really use your support.
