At The Table Episode 24: E-Health: Taking Our Healthcare Online - What‘s Working and What Isn‘t?

This week join your patient co-host Tiffany Westrich-Robertson, CEO of International Foundation for AiArthritis, to discuss the subject of distance medicine and electronic health. Tiffany shares her recent experience with distance medicine as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and discusses some of the concerns and implications of expanding the use of telemedicine appointments, electronic medical records, and online patient portals.

The mission of AiArthritis is to ensure all patient experiences and perspectives are counted - and are included as equal to all other stakeholders - so, together, we can solve the most pressing problems impacting education, advocacy, and research. Telemedicine and electronic medical records are evolving rapidly, spurred in large part by the need to provide care to patients remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic. But what is working well, what is challenging, and what do we need to discuss further as the future of telemedicine evolves? 

Addressing the benefits and barriers now can improve our healthcare experiences today and tomorrow. So join the conversation and share your experiences and concerns. What do you like or dislike about distance appointments or patient portals?  What benefits do you see moving forward? Are there problems you would like to see addressed?
