Three years ago, Rush University System for Health in Chicago began a concerted effort to grow a virtual care structure.
We—a team of like-minded doctors, nurses, administrators and other staff—insisted that an organized platform of digital tools must be designed to surmount the challenges of cost, quality and access in our healthcare system. At the time, we thought of these tools as critical to fueling our growth and differentiating our organization from competitors.
Now we know that virtual care is also critical for a public health crisis.
We believe the conversion to virtual care will be seen as one of the most important tools utilized during the COVID-19 pandemic to save lives—and to save healthcare workers from unnecessary exposure to this virulent pathogen.
