Telehealth is advancing at a rapid rate. As telehealth evolves, deployments have started to be more connected with a more strategic enterprise wide vision.
This vision needs to be more than point solutions, they need to be enterprise solutions that can be leveraged across the organization. With this rapidly changing environment, health systems need to routinely develop, review and update their telehealth strategic planning.
