Telehealth Policy Shifts During COVID-19: What Will Stay? What Will Go? With Jim Tate

I had the honor of having Jim Tate on our most recent episode of Unlocking Accountable Care. Jim Tate is the Chief Product Officer at MediVisum Telehealth Solutions, based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. He has overseen large-scale implementations of electronic health systems in various hospitals and healthcare institutions across the United States and Asia. Jim is also a fellow podcast host of a show called The Tate Chronicles where he discusses technological advances in healthcare.

In this episode, Jim discusses the changes in digital health technology in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. He talks through the rapid shifts in regulations and policies governing service provision – such as expanding telehealth services and their respective reimbursement rates – and speculates on which changes will remain long after the public health emergency is over.
