The recent news of the “tripledemic” comes amidst an already overwhelming state of health care related to staff shortages, burnout and the largest percentage of newer grads and travelers that we have ever experienced. The result: Hospitals and health care systems are looking for innovative ways to continue to deliver quality patient care.   

Join us to hear how leading health care systems in the country are leveraging Sickbay to create virtual care models to help solve these challenges. From large academic, to LTACH, to rural care and metropolitan, each of our renowned speakers share the same need but are tackling the problem in completely different ways. Hear how each of them is designing care models differently based on their patient population, budget and location. Get an in-depth overview from each on their situation and primary needs, how they developed a plan to address those needs, how they are measuring the impact, and what they plan to do next.   

Attendees Will Learn: 

• How to assess your hospital’s current environment to determine the best virtual care model that might work for you.  
• How to build the business case and prepare to implement a virtual care model at your facility.  
• What metrics you should plan to measure to prove the value of the virtual care model back to the leadership team.
