The Impact and Boundaries of Telehealth
The urgent and critical need of standing up large scale telehealth capabilities at the beginning of the 2020 COVID epidemic dramatically launched virtual care into our everyday healthcare practices. We saw the benefits and efficiencies for both patient and provider. At the same time, we quickly learned and experienced the pitfalls. In this episode, co-hosts Amy and Paul explore the intersection of burnout and telehealth. What is the best working environment for you - virtual, in-person, hybrid? What do patients prefer? Let’s take ourselves off of “mute” and discuss.
