Physician shortages directly impact the most underserved healthcare population in America, with 65% of rural areas having a shortage of primary care physicians. Healthcare providers and patients turned to telemedicine as a safe and efficient alternative for non-emergency medical consultations during the pandemic. It also has the potential to be a transformative solution, bridging the gap in patient care access. Through December 31, 2024, all patients can get telehealth wherever they are located. This means that they do not need to be at an originating site, and there are no geographical restrictions. How do you leverage telemedicine to increase access to healthcare? #HealthcareStrategy #Telemedicine #PatientAccess

At the Independent Pharmacy Cooperative, we believe that telemedicine can be a bridge to accessibility for so many people without access to healthcare. That's why our telemedicine doctors specialize in Everyday Care non-emergency services. Their main responsibility is to provide healthcare that has the convenience and affordability that non-insured or under-served communities need. At IPC, our goal is to improve healthcare availability, affordability, and convenience. Our remote patient monitoring tools also play a hand in helping us achieve this goal. These tools and resources establish paid CCM programs for pharmacists and medical providers to collaborate on patient health conditions and adherence rates.

Telemedicine cannot go away. In Nevada - it can take 8 months to get into see a primary care physcian (I’m not joking)! Yes, in-person visits with your doctor are great - if there is a doctor to see. Primary care is in dire straits! Telemedicine, while not perfect, helps to create access to care. Access to care does reduce longer term healthcare costs as conditions get attention at an earlier, less costly stage. We must stop going backwards in healthcare delivery. It’s killing us.
