Christian Milaster, telehealth guru and CEO at Ingenium Digital Health Advisors, and Dr. Wayne Pan, Medical Director at the San Francisco Health Plan, join Verbal CEO Waleed Moshen to discuss why providers struggle to deliver a consistently high-quality telehealth experience for both patients and staff, how workflow standardization can help and how to measure success.
An engineer by training, Christian is a passionate advocate of consistent, repeatable processes that can help telehealth teams track and maintain quality. As Christian puts it, you can’t always change people, but you can change the system and optimize workflows to give your team the best chance at success.
The panel discusses key metrics to consider when evaluating telehealth quality, the biggest challenges to creating and maintaining new workflows and getting staff buy-in on changes, as well as which telehealth metrics are actually useful if quality is your priority.
