    We are getting a nearly mandated trial run of telemedicine now with COVID, and I think it will speed up a much needed platform to delivering care.  We need to think about where it will add value after COVID and see if it’s worth implemented. I am excited about the possibility long-term . So much time and effort is spent bringing patients into the office, when there are a lot of disease states/ problem that can more efficiently be handled via telemedicine.

    This is a good example of listening to our customers.  I for one would love to have access to telemedicine.  I never really loved going to the office.

    It will take strategy and business planning to successfully integrate it into a practice.  We need to make sure it is profitable otherwise it will just make everything else that much harder.  We have a course on Value Based Care, that uses an activity based cost analysis to find value in a practice.  Telemedicine will have to undergo that kind of scrutiny before I would allocate resources in that direction.
