WEBINAR: The Next Wave: Automating Virtual Care
As the world adapts to the changes brought on in response to the coronavirus pandemic, it’s increasingly clear that virtual care is an essential component of modern care delivery. In response to the major pressures of care capacity and community safety, leading health organizations have adopted automated virtual care platforms to rapidly scale their care management capability. As we work to get the coronavirus pandemic under control, innovative leaders have also recognized the wide-ranging benefits of a richer, continuous and collaborative, care delivery process beyond addressing immediate needs brought on by the pandemic. The lasting impact delivered by virtual care at scale is coming into focus and helping inform how long term digital health initiatives benefit an organization in 2021 - and beyond.
In this topical session, we’ll explore a few ways in which market-leading healthcare provider organizations are leveraging the next wave of virtual care, how it informs their key long-term digital strategies and the positive outcomes that come with embracing automated virtual care at scale. Hear from national leaders in healthcare and technology as they discuss their journeys in expanding the use of automated virtual care to manage capacity challenges, deliver better patient experience, and improve population outcomes - all at a lower cost.
