The Evolution of Telehealth and YOU

Telehealth has increased patient compliance, created access to healthcare for patients who may not otherwise have access, reduced no-shows, cancellations and has unexpectedly given healthcare providers a much broader window into their patients’ lives and living circumstances.

Healthcare professionals predict that telehealth is here to stay because it’s been so beneficial to patients and providers. So what does that mean for auditors? Well, folks, it means that we need to examine the evolution and possible trajectory of telehealth so we can stay ahead of the curve and prepare ourselves for what’s to come.

Telehealth has transformed since the Covid-19 pandemic began to sweep the world. Before the public health crisis, there were restrictions on where a patient lived to qualify for telehealth. For example, a person had to live in a remote or rural area. Now, there are no location restrictions. You can live next door to your doctor’s office (or therapist’s office) and still see them on your computer screen. And there are plenty of other big changes that have occurred and are predicted to occur.
