Home care is no longer only for elderly patients who require a visiting nurse to come into their home and check on them post-discharge. Pippa Shulman, Medically Home’s chief medical officer, said that her company’s health systems partners need to be on board with the fact that hospital-level care is moving away from brick-and-mortar facilities.

To Zocdoc CEO Oliver Kharraz, it’s helpful to think about telehealth like an e-scooter, because virtual care is just one tool in the toolbox. For example, you wouldn’t use an e-scooter to get to the airport, but you might use it to visit a friend who lives a mile away. Similarly, you wouldn’t use telehealth to get a colonoscopy, but you might use it for a follow-up visit with your gastroenterologist.
