Next-Gen: The Role of Virtual-First Care (V1C) to Uplevel Care Delivery

About this Session:

Integrating V1C to Improve Population Health Explore the role of V1C as a pivotal component in managed care strategies, acting as the first line of defense to improve population health. This approach aims to optimize healthcare outcomes by leveraging primary care interventions before resorting to more expensive components. An example of this strategy is the integration of virtual providers to improve metabolic health in the era of GLP1s.

Case studies, such as the partnership between Ayble Health and Mayo Clinic, show how effective partnerships between virtual and traditional care providers can complement each other to enhance health outcomes, particularly in conditions like IBS and IBD.
