As the COVID-19 pandemic hit, emergency rooms and doctor’s offices were left empty. The number of Telehealth visits began to soar and amid changes in regulation and perception by patients, telehealth was now seen as a viable and thriving option.

In this podcast they'll discuss the dramatic increase in telehealth usage since the COVID-19 crisis began, the strategies that providers and other organizations have been imploring and implementing, and what the future of telehealth looks like in a constantly changing healthcare environment.
