Ask RelyMD Telemedicine Co-Founder and emergency department physician Bobby Park, MD and you'll find that necessity is the mother of invention. Seventy-one percent of emergency department visits are unnecessary or could have been avoided, according to a study by Truven Health Analytics. Realizing that patient overload could be alleviated more efficiently and economically through the use of telemedicine, Dr. Park and his partners at Wake Emergency Physicians, PA invested in building a platform to service emergency care.
In our conversation, we discussed the challenges faced by over-crowded emergency departments and the need to triage cases before reaching the hospital.
