Statement from President and CEO Mike Slubowski on Telehealth

Sep 7, 2019

Welcome to Bay Regional Medical Center, where we are committed to delivering exceptional healthcare services to our community. In this statement, President and CEO Mike Slubowski addresses the importance of telehealth and urges Congress to pass the Connect for Health Act. Telehealth has revolutionized the way we deliver healthcare, providing convenient access to quality care for patients across various geographical locations.

The Impact of Telehealth on Healthcare Delivery

Telehealth has emerged as a transformative solution in healthcare delivery. With the rapid advancements in technology, patients can now receive medical care remotely, eliminating geographical barriers. At Bay Regional Medical Center, we have embraced telehealth to enhance healthcare access and improve patient outcomes.

Through telehealth, patients can conveniently connect with healthcare providers from the comfort of their homes. This technology has significantly reduced the need for in-person visits, especially for non-emergency cases. Patients can now receive timely medical advice, consultations, and follow-ups without having to navigate through traffic or wait in crowded waiting rooms.

Telehealth also plays a crucial role in increasing the reach of healthcare services to underserved areas. Rural communities often face challenges with limited access to healthcare facilities and specialists. With telehealth, patients in remote locations can access specialists located elsewhere, reducing the need to travel long distances.

Furthermore, telehealth has proven to be highly beneficial in managing chronic conditions. Patients with ongoing medical conditions require regular check-ups and monitoring. Telehealth enables healthcare providers to remotely monitor patients, making necessary adjustments to their treatment plans, and ensuring timely interventions when required.

The Connect for Health Act and the Importance of its Passage

The Connect for Health Act, currently under consideration in Congress, aims to expand access to telehealth services and address potential barriers. The passage of this act is essential to further foster the growth of telehealth and ensure its availability to all individuals, regardless of their location or socioeconomic status.

By passing the Connect for Health Act, Congress can promote telehealth adoption by healthcare providers, incentivize reimbursement for telehealth services, and improve interoperability across different telehealth platforms. These initiatives would not only benefit patients but also healthcare providers seeking to incorporate telehealth into their practice.

Healthcare professionals and organizations, like Bay Regional Medical Center, recognize the value of telehealth in transforming healthcare delivery. By supporting the Connect for Health Act, we can collectively contribute to expanding access to quality healthcare services across the nation.

Conclusion

Throughout this statement, President and CEO Mike Slubowski emphasizes the positive impact of telehealth on healthcare delivery and patient access to quality care. Telehealth has revolutionized the way healthcare is delivered, providing convenient and timely access to medical services for patients across the country. With the passage of the Connect for Health Act, we can continue to foster the growth of telehealth and ensure its availability to all individuals, regardless of their location or circumstances.

At Bay Regional Medical Center, we remain committed to leveraging the benefits of telehealth and embracing innovative solutions that enhance patient care. Together, let us advocate for the passage of the Connect for Health Act and shape the future of healthcare through accessible and quality telehealth services.
