Access is important. But to move the needle on health equity, we also have to focus on experience and outcomes, says Saranya Loehrer, MD, MPH. Thank you to Consumer Technology Association for convening this important dialogue with policymakers and health leaders. #VirtualCare #HealthEquity

It’s #TelehealthTuesday, and this map shows us just how widely #telehealth is used across the country. Nationwide, 31% of all #Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries had at least one telehealth encounter in 2021 – accounting for approximately 9.6 million people. These numbers demonstrate why we need to permanently preserve access to #virtualcare. See our full analysis: https://lnkd.in/gx45Eunj

Excited to see the good work of so many talented colleagues and, importantly, the progress we are making as an organization. Key highlights from this year’s report: * Advancing health equity through the rollout of Spanish-language experiences across Teladoc Health’s suite of services and new investments in data and research that support identification of disparities at the population level and improve care. * Providing financial aid valued at $18 million to cover therapy costs for low-income individuals in 2022, through BetterHelp, Teladoc Health’s direct-to-consumer mental health service. * Volunteering more than 16,000 hours in 2022 to advance positive social change, increasing colleagues’ collective hours 33% over last year. * Extending access to care in communities impacted by natural disasters, such as hurricanes, wildfires and severe flooding, doubling the number free visits enabled over last year. * Deploying 18 autonomous telehealth devices to Ukraine, in partnership with the World Telehealth Initiative (WTI), to train Ukrainian surgeons and provide specialty medical care for those in need.
We are proud to publish our third annual Corporate Social Responsibility Report, which highlights our growing positive impact on communities, colleagues and clients around the globe.

This is a great county-by-county look at where Medicare beneficiaries’ gained and benefited from access to telehealth services after the PHE flexibilities were implemented. > In approximately 85% of the counties listed on the map, 18% to 50% of Medicare beneficiaries had at least one telehealth encounter. #telehealth #telehealthtuesday
It's #TelehealthTuesday! This week's nationwide map demonstrates that Medicare beneficiaries across the country benefited from telehealth in 2020. Specifically, 41% of all Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries (approximately 14.8 million people) had at least one telehealth encounter in 2020, and in approximately 85% of the counties listed on the map, 18% to 50% of their Medicare beneficiaries had at least one telehealth encounter.
