The Playbook explains how healthcare organizations focusing on virtual health beyond traditional care visits aim to achieve cost efficiencies while enhancing the overall healthcare experience. The process involves a step-by-step guide on designing workflows, establishing teams, selecting the right technology, and tracking performances.
The Potential of AI in Virtual Health Services
