Last chance to register! Join us today, 4 pm PT for a free live #CME webinar, "Balancing Virtual and On-Site Services: A #RiskManagement Perspective Beyond the Public Health Emergency." All are welcome. Register now: https://hubs.ly/H0LV8c80 | #DigitalHealth #BusinessOfMedicine In this webinar: How will your telehealth/telemedicine services continue to enhance patient care beyond the pandemic? How will your practice effectively manage the risks?... Prior to the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency, virtual consultation and care was in limited use, largely due to restrictions associated with licensure and reimbursement as well as challenges with patient engagement. In response to patient care needs, legislative changes addressed previous barriers to telehealth adoption and increased the likelihood that the telehealth service model is here to stay. This webinar will discuss how permanent implementation of telehealth services into the traditional on-site model may enhance the patient experience, will review risk management considerations for ensuring patient safety and mitigating your professional liability risk, and will offer strategies for optimizing your telehealth services.
