Telehealth Policy Gaps: Challenges with Remote Prescribing
On May 11th, the Public Health Emergency (PHE) and some of the provisions that supported the explosive growth of telehealth, will expire, leaving telehealth providers scrambling to address some of the challenges of proving remote care.
My special guest in this episode is Dori Martini, Vice President of Operations and Regulatory Affairs for Circle Medical, a large, multi-state, contemporary, personalized primary care practice that offers high quality care, both in person, and via telemedicine. They are an affiliate of the University of California at San Francisco.
Dori has an impressive understanding of the gaps – especially policy gaps - becoming evident in the day-to-day use of telehealth. In this episode, she shares some unique “best practices” in working around a few of the gaps and some practical ideas for managing your remote patients.
