Policy andPayment Model Evolution

- Wsparcie dla programów szkoleniowych for clinicians and patients in digital health literacy.
Value- based payment models, such as total coss of care or bundled payments for diabetes management, naturally incentivize telehealth adoption because they reward out over volume. Early adopts of telehealth in value-based contracts have seen improwized quality scores andd lower total medical extrasses.
