Maximizing Potential: Utilizing APP-Physician Collaboration with Telemedicine to Extend Care

Rural healthcare systems experience additional challenges in an already competitive market operating with slim margins. Using advanced practice providers (APPs) is a proven method to expand medical care in rural areas. Similarly, telehealth offers these organizations a strategy to address urgent needs like physician staffing shortages and access to subspecialties in a cost-effective, scalable manner. The combination of the two can be a game-changer for providing high-acuity care in rural settings.

An experienced clinician and entrepreneur, Dr. Sarjoo Patel believes everyone has a right to well-coordinated, high-quality, sustainable healthcare. This webinar will also cover the logistics of using onsite APPs with telehospitalists and telespecialists for acute care and critical care to help meet the individual needs of healthcare systems.
