Too many of us forget that how you define a problem influences how you solve a problem.
For instance, if you think homelessness is a housing supply issue, you would build more housing.
If you think it’s a mental health issue, you would strengthen the mental health system.
We took @CareMoreHealth and @HealthAspire to virtual care in March to protect patients & staff and prepare.
We shifted to >95% virtual care in 1 week.
Now, ramping back in-person care for critical needs.
Total visits have grown.
Our teams shows up for patients, every day.
The main challenge of #telemedicine is not technology or access.
It is clinical meaningfulness.
For all practicing #telemedicine in #COVID19:
Take the time to distinguish serious from not serious.
Give your phone number out.
You might save a life.

I’ll admit I was nervous upon discovering the patient I was about to see is COVID positive. Big shout out to @CareMoreHealth @AnthemInc@vgargMD@sacjai for supplying us with the proper PPE and training to keep calm and to care for a person, not a virus. #COVID19#StayHome
Today, we hosted a @CareMoreHealth #COVID19 virtual townhall

My heart is full. Over 60 Togetherness Program participants joined us for a celebration of the program. A brief discussion of the history program turned into flowing tears and expressions of genuine gratitude for the impact added human connection is making in their lives.
One size doesn't fit all. A relentless drive to understand how high-need patients differ from others aids #digitalhealth innovators, payers, and providers in deploying the most impactful interventions--for the patients that need them the most.
We are proud to announce @CareMoreHealth new partnership with @ScanHealthPlan to serve their members in Northern California. https://t.co/4sQTSVza1J #jpm19#JPMHC2019
