19: Virtual Health and the Role of Health Systems in Digital Public Health Monitoring

COVID-19 has forced a rapid shift to virtual health.  Now, health systems—and their virtual health teams—are thinking about the role they should play in antibody testing and digital public health monitoring as well. In this week’s episode, Sg2’s Chris Pagano and Tony Guth not only discuss what has already happened in virtual health and what we anticipate for the future, but also what other countries have done in terms of testing and monitoring and what lessons we can learn as we determine the best role to play.

Sg2 members can read more about virtual health in this recent article and the Virtual Health Newsletter.

18: Health Care Consumerism During a Pandemic

The health care industry has lagged behind others in viewing patients as consumers even prior to the pandemic and, as systems resume elective services, stakes are higher than ever.  In this week’s episode, Sg2’s Mark Larson and Vizient’s Dr. Tom Villanueva discuss health system approaches to meeting patient needs for safety,  cost and convenience in the wake of COVID-19.

For more on this topic, Tom hosted Mark on his podcast, Modern Practice Podcast, where they examined the role of the patient voice in the reopening of elective procedures. The episode, The Role of Patient and Family Councils (PFACs) in Resuming Elective Procedures, is linked here.
