106 - Senator Frist Makes Six Recommendations to Harness the Future of Virtual Care – Keynote Address from the American Telemedicine Association EDGE Policy Conference

A Second Opinion with Senator Bill Frist, M.D.

Today we’re sharing with you a special bonus episode. Last week I virtually kicked off the American Telemedicine Association’s annual EDGE telehealth policy conference, sharing my thoughts – as a provider with a 60-year history with telehealth – on the virtual care revolution we are living through now. I consider how far we’ve come, and outline what needs to be done to solidify these gains. And I look to future challenges and make six recommendations for health systems and innovators engaging in the field.

A special thanks to the American Telemedicine Association. And for more compelling information on the future of telehealth, be sure to join Telehealth Tuesdays hosted by the ATA, running through February 2nd. You can find more information at ataedge.org .
