Telehealth is part of a larger digital transformation in health care. The electronic health record, omnipresent mobile devices and faster internet connections have provided new ways for patients and providers to interact. As a result, hospitals and health systems need a strategy for their own digital transformation.
This report from the AHA Center for Health Innovation examines how telehealth is part of a digital health revolution; the flexibility of delivery platforms and how they fit into virtual integrated care; why telehealth is critical to health care transformation; challenges to telehealth expansion; current state of telehealth and opportunities for growth in hospitals; technology options and choosing the right vendor; and, most importantly, how hospitals and health systems can build capacity to expand access, improve outcomes and reduce costs.
