Description
Telehealth has moved beyond a pandemic stopgap to become a foundational part of healthcare delivery. In this panel, hospital and health system leaders examine how virtual care is being embedded into clinical, operational and digital infrastructure, and what must come next to ensure it delivers long-term value. Speakers will discuss scaling telehealth sustainably, integrating virtual care with in-person workflows, investing in platforms and staffing models, and preparing for evolving reimbursement and regulatory realities. The conversation will focus on how health systems can treat telehealth not as a standalone service, but as core infrastructure that supports access, efficiency and growth.
