Virtual Care Services

Experienced this recently, was nicely done.   Though I would require at least some face to face and visual analysis as part of the care.   Might this be done by using images and sharing these ahead of the appointment?

Forrester writes about the quicker adoption.  Part 2 with links to the first part.

Virtual Care Is A Requirement — Not A “Nice-To-Have”

Virtual Care Blog Series — Part 2

The pandemic has pushed virtual care technologies to make the leap across the chasm of adoption as even the pragmatists and conservatives have started deploying these services. Forrester made the call that 2020 would be the tipping point in virtual care adoption, and the pandemic accelerated this shift as barriers that inhibited faster adoption have been removed, such as lack of consumer awareness, cost and reimbursement hurdles, and the ability for patients to connect with their existing provider that they trust.

To better understand how adoption has played out in the market, what areas are seeing the greatest amount of growth, and to establish a baseline in virtual care, Forrester has been connecting with the supply side — the vendors in the virtual care space. These vendors have reported a significant rise in enrollment, adoption, and new implementations by healthcare organizations (HCOs). As part of our weekly series on virtual care, we are continuing to highlight how virtual care is transforming the future of healthcare. Missed the previous blog? Check it out here.  .... "
