Virtual Care: Opportunities and Barriers for Health Systems

Leaders in telehealth and virtual care settings must learn to balance the needs of the individual with the needs of populations. Students will explore the factors that impact the success of telehealth and virtual care programming including barriers to care, the social determinants of health (SDOH), and the concerns of special populations. Students will develop the skills needed to create a telehealth and virtual care plan that takes into account health policy and regulatory compliance, best practices in population health, and the social context of the healthcare system.
