COVID-19: Adapting To Virtual Care Delivery & Implementing New Approaches & Technology — Executive Web Briefing Sponsored By Netsmart & Livongo For Behavioral Health By myStrength
GETTYSBURG, Pa. (April 5, 2020) – The rapidly evolving and unprecedented challenges of COVID-19 are requiring us to think differently as we shape approaches to everything from workforce management to care delivery models. Social distancing, virtual working, self-isolation, and the other CDC recommendations will impact your organization and care delivery, as well as the mental well-being of your clients and staff.
On Wednesday, March 25th at 2 p.m. ET, Netsmart Chief Clinical Advisor, Denny Morrison, Ph.D., Netsmart Vice President of Interoperability and Consumer Engagement, AJ Peterson, and Livongo Vice President of Behavioral Health Strategy, Julia Hoffman, Psy.D., discussed how telehealth provides continuity of care during a time of crisis, how to mitigate the risk of loneliness and other mental health issues, and use digital self-help tools as a treatment extender, and daily policy and regulation changes enabling health IT across the care continuum in a presentation titled COVID-19: Adapting to Virtual Care Delivery and Implementing New Approaches and Technology.
Attendees learned more about the current challenges being brought on due to COVID-19, as well as a detailed response plan. In addition, attendees were informed about current policy changes, and the ways telehealth and 24/7 self-help app can ease the various impacts brought on by both the virus itself and the self-isolation used to prevent it.
