Telehealth allows many providers to give access and care to patients regardless of where they are.
Zoom has changed care delivery worldwide in less than three years. Ron Emerson, their Global Healthcare Lead, talks about how they are doing it by embracing telehealth capacities within their multipurpose platform. Not only is Zoom the leading telemedicine communication tool in the United States, but it is also working to offer organizations different, hybrid, more efficient models of work and care delivery when appropriate. Ron explains how the digital-first hybrid models work and why the decentralization of care is becoming a hot trend in the industry. He also discusses how using telemedicine impacts on-site operations and why changing the incentivization system from a fee-for-service to a value-based one can pave the way for future digital innovations.
