Telehealth Strategy at Cleveland Clinic

Peter A. Rasmussen, MD, Chief Clinical Officer, CCAW JV, LLC, Professor of Neurosurgery, Neurologic Institute, Cleveland Clinic.  Digital health and telemedicine had made some inroads into traditional healthcare delivery systems prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.  Innovative strategies have existed for quite some time to use internet connected devices to promote virtual chronic disease monitoring.  By removing regulatory barriers, reimbursement gaps, and privacy concerns, COVID-19 has accelerated digital health adoption beyond anyone’s imagination at this point in time.  Dr. Rasmussen explores leveraging EHR interoperability, connected devices, and virtual/video visits to inform a possible telehealth strategy of the future.
