Preparing For The Telehealth Tipping Point

We kicked off last week's 2014 OPEN MINDS Technology & Informatics Institute with a look at where we're at with telehealth. The pre-institute seminar, Using Telehealth To Reduce Costs & Add Revenue: A Guide for Provider Organization Executive Teams, was led by my colleague Robert N. Cuyler, Ph.D., and focused on identifying the developments in telehealth, and building a sustainable program based on that information.

Bob's opening question? Are we near the “tipping point” in the widespread adoption of telehealth – or will telehealth in the U.S. continue to be a slow and inconsistent service . . .
