Episode description

Would you believe that virtual care can be superior to face-to-face care? Beyond the convenience of being able to receive care from the comfort of your own home, virtual care is giving doctors access to the right data at the right time.

But it requires major changes to healthcare’s current infrastructure as well as tighter integration between in-person care. In this podcast, we explore how virtual care can go beyond the technology, why integration matters, and how the right partnership can make a world of difference for the healthcare industry.   

Join us as we explore these ideas with:
