Research and Resources Regarding Telehealth’s Role in Improving Chronic Condition Management and Prevention
As telehealth utilization and policies continue to adjust to ensure patient access to remote care, recent research and resources have been released, which highlight telehealth’s ability to improve chronic illness management and prevention. Addressing the rise in chronic conditions and improving the overall health of Americans has also been a strong focus of the new federal administration, as can be seen through the recent establishment of the Make America Healthy Again Commission and the restructuring of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) around the priority of ending chronic illness in America. Telehealth also appears poised to serve a promising role in the process, as covered in the research and resources below, though telehealth policy must be considered carefully to ensure telehealth remains fully accessible.
