As virtual care matures, the question is no longer whether it works, but how it works best across different environments—and how success should be measured. Real-world results matter, even early in the journey. Early signals for clinicians—like reduced readmissions or less time spent on charting—can be powerful indicators of long-term financial impact.

In their new article in npj Digital Medicine (Nature Portfolio), ATA's Andy Molnar and Lani Reilly highlight how outdated reimbursement policies are creating barriers, and why timely policy action, including a dedicated Medicare benefit, is critical to expanding access, reducing costs, and driving equitable, patient-centered digital care.

Emergency Department (ED) boarding strains hospitals by driving up costs, worsening patient outcomes, and increasing staff burnout—but addressing it offers a unique opportunity to fund virtual care programs through cost savings. This whitepaper from AvaSure explains how reducing ED boarding improves patient flow and operational efficiency while creating a sustainable path to deploy virtual nursing without extra budget. 

The evolving landscape of healthcare is writ large when it comes to small town hospitals. When operating on a smaller scale, vacant specializations are often sorely missed, and community members have little choice but to look elsewhere for care. Throw a global health crisis into the mix, and rural hospitals suffer disproportionately as the clinician labor shortage deepens. Here is a look at how one rural medical facility addressed the challenge and provided care to its community on its own terms.

While most IT and clinical leaders believe that inpatient acute virtual care will play an increasingly significant role in care delivery, the reality is that it is still in the early stages of adoption. Survey data reveals a surprising gap: 29% of organizations have no virtual care programs, even as hospital leaders rank it as a top priority. 

The shift towards value-based care (VBC) has led to a reimagining of the traditional definition of health care delivery—including what types of services are delivered, how those services are delivered, and by whom they are delivered—all with the objective of supporting better outcomes at lower costs. The American Medical Association (AMA) set out to understand the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code set’s role in VBC.
