Amazon Alexa's Daily Telehealth Brief

Why we trust zoom!
What technology do you need to develop virtual capabilities to treat patients?
Since the beginning of COVID19, it is pretty clear Telehealth is taking off. However, there are still several misconceptions that may be why many telehealth implementations still have disappointing results.
Telehealth is not all about technology. Itโs about people (patients, providers, nurses, MAs, etc.) and processes (such as scheduling, syncing, billing, etc.).
Many of the misconceptions focus on the technology in telehealth.
1. Telehealth is a Healthcare IT Acquisition and Deployment Project 2. There is one technology solution for telehealth that everyone will use 3. Our IT staff is best suited to run our telehealth program 4. Telehealth Vendors will help us to properly set up our telemedicine services 5. Once weโve established one telehealth service, we can quickly roll it out to others 6. Telehealth is just a different way to deliver care
Let's discuss any other misconceptions together!

Training on telemedicine can truly occur in less than half an hour
Capturing Data
Designing the process for long-term is easy to do, but hard to sell
Direct-to-Consumer Telemedicine is truly one of the most challenging telemedicine use cases
