Healthy 365

I share this personal and tragic story of not matching into my fellowship of choice and ending up in a place I couldn’t have dreamed of, Johns Hopkins Hospital - the place that was part of my push to become a physician when I was 12 years old.

Telemedicine has come crashing through full frontal, whether you like it or not - and I mean for patients and providers alike.  Telemedicine is the current way of providing non-urgent care.  In this episode the point of view is from a provider that has jumped in head first, but learned to implement this technology in the outpatient setting fast!  This episode is explored first from the patient management perspective and then from the provider perspective.  If you don't want to listen to all the technical jargon, including billing, then you'll just want to focus on the first half.  If you are a provider interested in all the itty-bitty details, then listen through to the end.
