How much has the practice of telehealth changed in the last 30 years or has it changed at all? With the rapid innovation of new technologies for healthcare delivery, Dr. Kvedar shares his insight on the last 30 years of telehealth, the rise in healthcare consumerism, the growing gap in healthcare equity, and how omnichannel telehealth solutions may have an impact to support marginalized populations.

Prof. Joseph Kvedar is THE expert in terms of telehealth and digital health. He is leveraging information technology, such as cell phones, computers, networked devices and remote health monitoring tools to improve care delivery. He is a Professor of Dermatology at Harvard Medical School, and vice president of Partners healthcare. He is also the editor-in-chief of npj Digital Medicine.

The digital health space is changing so fast, it can sometimes feel like your head is going to spin right off trying to keep track of what's coming and going. And with all those moving parts, if you're not paying attention - and I mean close attention - you could miss out on some huge opportunities, or fall into some epic traps. Dr. Joseph Kvedar has had his finger on the pulse of digital health and telehealth for over 30 years - so, when it comes to hyper shifting technology and business models, or even stalled out progress, he's the man you want on your team. That's why I was thrilled when he agreed to come onto the show, again, and share his expertise and thoughts on all those moving parts. Only this time, instead of discussing the possible changes to digital health and telehealth, we're going to pick apart the massive shifts caused by COVID, and what those shifts may mean to the future of healthcare.

Joseph C. Kvedar, MD shared his keynote before the 2021 American Telemedicine Association.  He addresses a regression that is underway from local providers dominating the delivery of telehealth to the national providers once again taking over the top spot.  FTAWhen I talk to other provider organizations, I hear common themes dragging them back into an in-person-dominant care model. Themes such as filling beds and charging facility fees come up repeatedly, not to mention the threat of lower reimbursement for telehealth visits compared to in-person.I recently talked to a friend who works at one of the largest national payer organizations, which led to an important insight.  From January through October of 2020, local providers (i.e., ‘your doctor') generated 96% of their telehealth claims, and only 4% came from national providers (i.e., Teledoc Health, Amwell).  Compare that to 2019, when 54% of claims were from national providers – and the trend is moving back in that direction.-----Is this inevitable?  We still live in a fee for service world and the financials don't work without the government money.  If the government money comes in is that really a good thing or have we just added one more arm to the Frankenstein that is the healthcare payment system.The government is the largest payer in this market, if you can call it that.  They will have to consider what works best for the millions of lives under their care and in so doing have downstream impacts on all other lives.  

In this edition of DTV, Avery Lyford had a chance to interview Dr. Joe Kvedar, Professor at Harvard Medical School, Author, Editor and Chair of the Board of the American Telemedicine Association (ATA). They discussed the future of telehealth, how healthcare companies can reimagine the digital health experience to maximize its potential, and patient engagement in a post-pandemic world.

Dr. Joe Kvedar, Professor of Dermatology, Harvard Medical School, author, editor, advisor and telehealth evangelist, interviewed by Trond Arne Undheim, futurist, investor, and author. In this conversation, we talk about the history Telehealth and it's transformation into a two-channel delivery system combining in-person and virtual care. A precursor in the field, Joe charts the 20 year evolution from "show me the data" to "how do I implement?". We briefly discuss the use case of Melanoma therapy and AI/imaging from Kvedar's own field, dermatology. We discuss COVID-19 effects and other disruptive forces. Joe shares the startups he sees disrupting the game and how he stays up to date. We cover the emerging two-channel care delivery system and discuss the future of virtual care in the next decade. My takeaway is that Telehealth has come a long way in 20 years and it's not just about the technologies, but it is also about adapting to a hybrid model of care where you each time select the communication mode that best serves the patient given the constraints, and still is efficient for the health system at large. The future of virtual care is up for grabs, it is already starting to look different from five years ago. Leapfrogging seems entirely possible and we will see new winners but also old champions rise to the challenge having invested time and resources in the area for decades. What's certain is that both infrastructure and skills will need to evolve with the challenges and opportunities ahead.

February 26, 2021: Telehealth has become a household word. The numbers in 2020 were staggering. What trends should we expect in 2021? What is the new normal? Dr. Joseph Kvedar, Harvard Professor, VP of Mass General Brigham and President of the American Telehealth Association discusses the technology around televisits, consults and remote patient monitoring. With the use of artificial intelligence and symptom checkers, a patient can start their telehealth journey working with software and then get triaged to the appropriate clinician. That’s pretty cool. Clinician adoption used to be a big barrier to telehealth. Have we gotten through it? Will the next generation of med school students get different training? What is the legislative agenda for the ATA coming into the Biden administration? And how can we tighten security and privacy? Key Points:Telehealth has become a household word [00:06:10] ATA is not in favor of national licensure [00:24:20] The nice thing about the technology track is there's so much money chasing it right now that there's just innovation upon innovation [00:32:42] Our patients and consumers care deeply about their privacy, especially when it has to do with medical information [00:33:25] We should be providing people with the most seamless workflows that we can to ensure that they're productive and happy with their work [00:39:30] American Telehealth AssociationMass General BrighamHarvard T.H.

Telehealth has been around for years in the United States, but it was not until the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic that it became regularly used. The growth of telehealth was fueled by the inability to see patients in person at the beginning of the pandemic and a move by the government to temporarily relax regulations. Joseph Kvedar, MD, president of the American Telemedicine Association, professor of Dermatology at Harvard Medical School, co-chair of the American Medical Association's Digital Medicine Payment Advisory Group, and editor-in-chief of npj Digital Medicine, explained that some of those relaxations might continue on after the pandemic passes, but some may get rolled back. In conversation with Patricia Salber, MD, MBA, of The Doctor Weighs In, Kvedar also discussed how breakthroughs in technology have helped make virtual visits possible, the future of telehealth, and more.

If there's one thing people in healthcare seem to agree on these days, it is that the use of telemedicine has never been higher. But after the crisis subsides, will the rules and regulations that severely limited its use for decades be re-established? "Cementing the gains" made by the technology during COVID is Dr. Joseph Kvedar's current focus, as well as developing national guidelines for medical education in telehealth. As Kvedar tells host Shiv Gaglani, now that everyone realizes telemedicine should be in the mix, the question is what are the most appropriate uses for it? Check out this episode of Raise the Line to find out how that is being sorted out, and the implications for current and future providers and patients.

We shop, do bank transactions, study, play, and do many other things online. So why not do doctor consultations online?   U.S. healthcare has been slowly inching towards telehealth over the past couple of years, but the arrival of the COVID pandemic pushed telemedicine to the forefront. To limit the spread of the virus, telemedicine became an excellent choice for those seeking a consultation but cannot visit the doctor's office. In this special episode with Ann Mond Johnson, CEO at ATA, and Joe Kvedar, discuss the state of telehealth with a particular focus on orthopedics. They share their insights on telemedicine's impact on both orthopedics and patients, improving the efficiency of care delivery, integrating wearables and remote monitoring in zoom and other online platforms, and more.  Shawna, Ann, and Joe had plenty to talk about, so you'll definitely find this episode very interesting!

The commercialization process in healthcare is very complex, and it’s impacted by a multitude of factors and circumstances. Why is commercialization so much harder in the healthcare industry? What are the biggest mistakes innovators are making, and how do these mistakes make growth impossible? What do we need to be mindful of when trying to get into a delivery network or hospital system?   On this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Joseph Kvedar, VP of Connected Health with Partners HealthCare. Dr. Kvedar is a pioneer, early adopter, and influencer in the field of connected health. We talk about overcoming the commercialization difficulties in healthcare that so many innovators face.   3 Things We Learned What makes it so challenging to commercialize an innovation in healthcare Why having the most advanced/superior innovation is meaningless How to successfully get into a delivery network or health hospital system   When healthcare innovations are still small, just starting to garner entry level interest, is when they are most vulnerable to facing issues that impede commercialization. Whether it’s losing a key team member, or encountering changes in the market, that randomness is inherent in bringing innovations to market. There are ways to mitigate this, however.   It’s critical to settle the “people issues” early on and understand your product-market fit. Raise only the right amount of money, and spend it thoughtfully. Line everything up to present the best business case possible.
