Oncology and Applying the Virtualization of Care

Virtual care encompasses a wide array of technologies that connect patients to providers. From chronic disease management to remote patient monitoring, virtual care solutions are transforming the way healthcare is delivered. Concerns regarding reimbursement, patient satisfaction, clinical appropriateness, and physician adoption have been around for some years, but a lot has been learned over the years and especially during the last few months. Oncology like most other specialties had to fast forward their exploration of digital tools during the pandemic lockdown. In this session, we will tease out from our experienced panelists some practical guidance on implementation. We will discuss the commonality of many digital processes across oncology, what patients want, and how different sub-specializations can fit new technology platforms into their clinical and business models whether under a fee-for-service or value-based care regime.
