A5: Beyond payment: the culture of medicine has to stop making patients shove their lives into health care (in person visits, I'm lookin' at you), and start enabling patients to seamlessly fit care into their lives. This isn't just technical or financial. #primarycarecovidchat
A4. How about payment that supports coordinating care in real time? Where PCP hops on with a local specialist and they actually talk - right before my eyes. #PrimaryCareCovidChat
We need payers to not limit pay parity and other #telehealth flexibilities to their own proprietary platforms. This leads to fragmentation in care rather than continuity. #PrimaryCareCovidChat
Oh, I know-- how about each patient gets a digital care summary that they can download into their App, then share back with others on their care team? This is doable today! #PrimaryCareCovidChat
