Houston Fire Department Associate Medical Director Michael Gonzalez explains how telemedicine technologies are aiding essential prehospital management of EMS patients.

Access helps create equity in healthcare, and technology will drive progress, according to Dr. Bobby Mukkamala, an otolaryngologist and AMA Board of Trustees member, who will speak at HIMSS23.

According to a study published in JAMA, audio-only visits made up one in five primary care visits and two in five behavioral health visits among patients at federally qualified health centers in August 2022.

According to Howard Rubin, CIO of Evara Health, an FQHC, telehealth has helped an underserved population overcome the challenges of finding care.

Randy Bush, principal at Deloitte Consulting, and Joe Drygas, VP of healthcare for AT&T Business, preview their HIMSS23 presentation explaining 5G's increasing centrality for healthcare and connectivity.

Barbara Rothbaum, executive director of the Emory Healthcare Veterans Program and Trauma and Anxiety Recovery Program, discusses Emory's no-cost two-week mental health treatment program that pays for flights, hotels and therapy for vets.

Cleveland Clinic's director of shared medical appointments, Dr. Marianne Sumego, previews her HIMSS23 lecture highlighting how to convert from in-person to virtual shared medical appointments and the advantages for patients and providers.

Virtual care can help fill gaps left by specialist deserts across the country as well as provider shortages, says Kuldeep Singh Rajput, CEO of Biofourmis, a tech vendor turned telemedicine provider organization. 

The latter will soon be rebranded as MediBuddy vHealth.

KeyCare's study of patients' relation to telemedicine offers insights for healthcare IT leaders and their work in virtual care. CEO Dr. Lyle Berkowitz explains the findings.
