While virtual care doesn’t have quite the same funding that EMR had with meaningful use, there are a lot of similarities to where we’re at today with virtual care as compared to where we were with EMR back when the government poured down $36 billion of stimulus money on EMR. Thanks to COVID and new reimbursement for virtual care, there’s been a frenzy of activity as healthcare organizations try to understand how they should approach virtual care in their organization.
At the HIMSS annual conference, we sat down with Bill Grana, Chief Executive Officer at HCTec, and Monica Bolbjerg, MD, Founder and CEO at Qure4u, to get their first hand perspectives on virtual care. We ask them to share something about virtual care that not enough people are talking about. Plus, we talk about reimbursement for virtual care and what’s going to continue regardless of reimbursement.
Grana and Bolbjerg also talk about the importance of EHR integration when it comes to virtual care and the challenge of how a healthcare organization can support the technology to do virtual care effectively. Finally, we dive into the role of telehealth in the broader virtual care picture and even discuss how virtual care can augment clinical insight.
