Innovations in Virtual Health: Accelerating and Optimizing Prevention and Care Outcomes

We invite you to watch this complimentary webinar discussing innovations in virtual health, and how to accelerate and optimize prevention and care outcomes.

Virtual Health has long been considered an innovative solution for care delivery. However, adoption amongst health plans, providers and consumers had been lagging for a variety of reasons, most notably: reimbursement parity, aptitude and capacity. Fast forward to today and COVID-19 has propelled providers, health plans and consumers over the tipping point into widespread adoption.

An integrated virtual health strategy can inform, personalize, accelerate and optimize both prevention and care outcomes. Leading health plan organizations are developing integrated virtual health offerings with their provider networks to deliver on the promise of:

1. More personalized member experiences
2. More efficient clinician workflows
3. Enhanced Care Coordination
4. Improved access to clinical, behavioral and social services

View this recording to learn how Microsoft and its partners are enabling health plans’ Virtual Health efforts including:

• Creation of digital front doors
• Virtual visits delivery
• Enabling clinician collaboration
• Enhancing remote patient monitoring efforts
