Telemedicine in 2020: Making the Leap to Implementation
Friday, February 28, 2020 | 8:30 a.m. - 2:15 p.m.
MHA Conference Center | Burlington, Mass.
In today’s healthcare ecosystem, consumer-centric care is the focus and telemedicine is tailor-made for it. However, regulatory, legal, and payer complexities have often delayed progress in this area. Massachusetts has a strong tMED coalition pushing for faster implementation, and this program will highlight the growing opportunities becoming available. We’ll feature case studies by local hospitals along with one of the nation’s most advanced telemedicine programs at Jefferson Health, a 14-hospital system in Greater Philadelphia. We’ll also look at some of the more challenging issues that have hindered telemedicine implementation and strategies to get beyond them.
