WellVia Chief Technology Officer Peyton Reaves joins Britt Berrett to discuss telemedicine. Proponents of this healthcare model, through which patients can contact a physician via phone, website, video chat or app, believe that it is the future of acute care. Reaves and Berrett talk about the details, including how technology solves the problem of clogged emergency rooms, whether telemedicine will move into specialty medicine and chronic care, and how WellVia cleared the regulatory hurdles put in place for remote-care practitioners.
