Video Highlights
- Jefferson Health had a robust telehealth program in place before the pandemic, and it ramped up the program quickly to meet growing demand.
- Providence moved all 53 of its hospital websites onto one site. Along with its internal DexCare program and chatbot powered by artificial intelligence, this allowed Providence to communicate vital COVID-19 information to patients and scale virtual visits.
- Patient demand for virtual care is likely to continue after the pandemic. Healthcare organizations should keep patients at the center when implementing new digital health technologies.
