Opportunities To Expand Telehealth Use Amid The Coronavirus Pandemic
Manatt Health director Jared Augenstein penned an article for Health Affairs on the unique services telehealth provides, and how it could be a powerful tool for reducing transmission of COVID-19 to and among healthcare workers and patients who are not infected. In the article, Augenstein discussed how telehealth could be a critical component to combating the virus, saying, “telehealth can also be an effective alternative to in-person visits for patients with other health care needs, and thus can help preserve critical provider capacity for those in greatest need of in-person care.”
