At ATA Nexus, Stakeholders Plan for the Next Phase of Telehealth

 Virtual care leaders struck a defensive tone at the annual ATA Nexus conference in Phoenix this week, denouncing the implication that recent business failures in the telehealth arena mean the care modality is on its way out.This is, in and of itself, not surprising. After all, one would expect a rousing defense of telehealth at a conference organized by the country's most prominent telehealth trade association. However, amid the overwhelming agreement that telehealth is not dead, it became increasingly clear that pandemic-era virtual care strategies no longer serve the industry.Telehealth stakeholders detailed how virtual care needs are evolving as the industry shifts to a more longitudinal, integrated, and personalized mode of digital healthcare.
