COVID-19 led to major policy changes impacting how healthcare is delivered and reimbursed, but only some of these new policies will endure in coming years. On this episode of the After the Curve podcast, our colleagues from McDermott+Consulting join us to discuss how the pandemic has changed the conversation leading up to the November presidential election and how key policy issues will evolve in the months and years to come. McDermott’s Chief Marketing Officer Leslie Tullio is joined by Eric Zimmerman, Mara McDermott and Jessica Roth to discuss topics surrounding the pandemic-induced policy shifts, including:
- The most impactful regulatory telehealth changes that have resulted from COVID-19
- A look beyond telehealth to a paradigm shift in the broader digital health landscape
- The impact that a more refined data exchange pathway could have on treatment during the next wave of COVID-19 or future pandemics
- Meaningful collaborations that are currently happening in the digital health space
- A look at innovations that are emerging from the demands of post-COVID-19 healthcare
- Legal and regulatory compliance steps that still need to be taken to allow these telehealth programs to continue in the future
