The Continued Push Towards Virtual First Healthcare - Karsten Russell-Wood at ViVE 2022

Virtual-First thinking and telehealth adoption exploded during the pandemic. Since necessity was the driver there is some expectation that demand and use will scale back as the pandemic wanes. Yet today's guest tells us that is not what's happening in the field. We spoke with Karsten Russell-Wood at ViVE 2022, and he's seeing the opposite . Not only is demand steady, but hospitals are evaluating all their workflows to see what else they can do with telemedicine.  Karsten serves as the Chief Marketing & Experience Officer for Equum Medical. Equum is a telehealth-enabled provider service delivery company. They provide much-needed clinical resources to hospitals and health systems all over the country via telehealth. Given the industry's struggles with staffing shortages and clinician burnout, Equum's services are in high demand. We discuss: - What's driving the continued demand for telehealth - How Equum is approaching the market - The importance of delivering a full solution to your customers and partnering with others to make it happen - The need to innovate in our business models, pricing, and partnerships just like we do with our products   For full show notes and links: https://thehcbiz.com/186-continued-expansion-of-virtual-first-healthcare-karsten-russell-wood--vive2022/

Om Podcasten

A practical podcast on the business of healthcare w/ hosts Don Lee and Shahid Shah. The premise behind #HCBiz is that we can't "just innovate". Sure, you may have a great idea, an all-star team and execute flawlessly, but if you don't understand the complex dynamics of the healthcare business you'll never get traction. We'll identify the issues that impede change, explain why they exist and find ways to work with them, through them, or around them. In short, we'll help you create space for innovation in healthcare through technology (HealthIT | HIT | Digital Health) and workflow. We'll also explore health policy, administration and the psychology behind it all. Finally, we help you align your ideas to business incentives, market them to healthcare leaders and get the sale.
