About the Webinar
Prior to the pandemic, telemedicine use in the United States was minimal, and until recently, it was largely underutilized. But COVID-19 quickly changed that by suddenly thrusting telemedicine to center stage. Interest in and implementation of telemedicine expanded rapidly, which opened the door for patients to maintain access to care during this public health crisis. During this webinar, we will discuss the lasting impact COVID-19 has had on health care delivery, from emergency departments to nursing homes, and the impact these changes will have on patients and health care practitioners in the years to come.
