The Taskforce on Telehealth Policy (TTP) has released a report discussing utilization of telehealth services during the pandemic. The TTP performed its analysis by breaking itself into three subgroups: Patient Safety and Program Integrity; Data Flow, Care Coordination and Quality Measurement; and Effect on Total Cost of Care.
The TTP subgroups reached consensus that a clear signal should be sent to policymakers that telehealth is a widely accepted, valued and expected care delivery option. They further found broad support that telehealth is the natural evolution of health care into the digital age, not another type of care or new benefit. The TTP also concluded that new technologies provide tools to address concerns about program integrity, care coordination and quality, and that new data generated during the pandemic challenges previous assumptions about increased costs. |
