Potential wins for fellow physicians and other clinicians from a well-implemented Telemedicine
program: - ANS Flexible practice options: Improves the ability for physicians to utilize
flexible practice options such as extended or weekend hours. Fill vacant spots: Practices are
able to use telemedicine to fill vacant slots created by last-minute cancellations or no-shows.
Reduce overhead expenses: Practices are able to reduce practice overhead expenses by
extending practice hours without the need for office staff. Patient retention: Physicians find
satisfaction in the ability to retain patients who might otherwise migrate to other office-based or
telemedicine providers, or possibly increased market share
Telemed can be used in: - ANS Chronic care management: The Veterans Affairs (VA)
health care system found that the use of Telehealth led to reduced utilization of inpatient care. In
2016, veterans enrolled in home telehealth for chronic care management had a 59% decrease
in VA bed days of care and a 31% decrease in VA hospital admissions. Long-term care:
Telemedicine is being used in long-term care facilities to deliver care to their residents. This is of
particular interest to these facilities because they operate with slim operating margins driven by
a predominance of medical coverage by Medicaid. One telebehavioral health program in
long-term care facilities was able to offset costs and revenues in the first year, and garner a
significant positive margin in its second year and every year thereafter
