TeleServices for Better Health: The Decade of the Non-Physician

Jared Rhoads, Senior Research Specialist, and John Ainge, MD, Clinical Director and Strategist, CSC. As care becomes more distributed and technology-enabled services such as TeleHealth, TeleCare, TeleCoaching, and TeleMedicine assume a larger role in care delivery, the healthcare workforce will adapt accordingly. In particular, TeleServices will elevate the role of non-physician healthcare workers, requiring these individuals to practice at the top of their licenses in order to meet rising demand amid capacity constraints. As part of this session, Jared and John present the results of a Scottsdale Institute member survey on the adoption and use of TeleServices.
