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.

Health systems know virtual care can drive efficiency, improve patient outcomes, and ease staff burden, but getting there isn’t easy.

Discover how UW Health is transforming critical care delivery through its innovative virtual command center. By partnering with rural and community hospitals, UW Health extends specialist expertise beyond its own walls, keeping patients closer to home while providing bedside teams with around-the-clock support.

View this fireside chat with Alejandro Quiroga, MD, MBA, President & CEO of Children’s Mercy Kansas City. In this one-on-one conversation, we explore how innovation in site design and workflow can multiply workforce efficiency and help systems meet rising patient demand.

In this episode of Health Virtually Uncensored, host Joe Kvedar sits down with Dr. David Guidry of Intermountain Health for an unfiltered conversation about redefining digitally enabled care—especially in rural America.

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. 

Virtual care promises to expand access and improve outcomes—yet too often, the reality falls short. In this session, NCQA and Firefly Health shares practical lessons from the field on how to navigate common pitfalls in virtual care deliver

Packed with real-world insights and candid advice, this episode, featuring Carla Dehmer of UPMC, and Lisbeth Votruba of AvaSure explores what it takes to build scalable digital solutions that truly support clinicians, improve access, and enhance the patient experience.

As staffing shortages intensify and threaten the nursing workforce, virtual nursing has become essential.

As health systems embrace virtual nursing, virtual sitting, remote specialty consults, and digital-first care models, infrastructure gaps—particularly hardware limitations, outdated connectivity, and insufficient broadband access—are emerging as key barriers to scaling these solutions effectively. To unlock the full potential of virtual care, we must modernize the foundational technology within hospitals, ensuring seamless integration, reliable performance, and enhanced security.

Faced with nursing shortages, rising patient acuity, and financial pressures, hospitals are turning to virtual care to ease staff burden and improve outcomes. While 74% of leaders see virtual workflows as the future of inpatient care, only 10% have fully integrated them—revealing a critical implementation gap. Drawing on its work with 1,100+ hospitals, AvaSure offers a 7-step roadmap to help health systems launch and scale effective virtual care programs.

Dr. Joe Kvedar sits down with Greg Weidner, MD, Senior Medical Director of Virtual Health at One Medical, to explore how One Medical is redesigning primary care for a digital-first world.

Listen in on a practical, expert-led webinar discussing the latest coding and reimbursement strategies for digital mental health services. Learn how to navigate key billing codes, understand reimbursement pathways, and align your approach for successful stakeholder adoption.

As telehealth and telemedicine continue to reshape the healthcare landscape, one challenge stands out: verifying patient identities quickly, securely, and at scale to meet compliance requirements such as HIPAA, DEA and licensure to ensure you are treating the right patient. Manual ID verification methods aren’t just slow—they leave room for error, open the door to fraud, and can jeopardize compliance with patient privacy regulations.

Digital therapeutics have the power to transform care—but fragmented workflows and patient access barriers often stand in the way. CaryHealth is changing that. This webinar explores how CaryHealth’s AI-driven infrastructure is streamlining pharmacy workflows, boosting patient engagement, and making digital therapeutics more accessible than ever.

In this webinar, clinical executives and industry leaders discuss how forward-thinking organizations are evolving their leadership frameworks—bridging IT, nursing, physician, and operational teams—to drive sustainable virtual care models.

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.
