Q: The patient experience has changed dramatically during the pandemic. Moving forward, how do you see patient engagement changing to accommodate these new ways of “seeing” patients?

Haines: Healthcare and engagement with patients will need to reflect the changes that have occurred. Telehealth use and reimbursement has had a dramatic evolution in the past year, with hope that this continues post-COVID. The benefits are many — expanding our care reach with accessibility to more patients that previously may have transportation or mobility issues; convenience; prevention of infectious disease spread and decreased missed appointments. Telehealth visits are typically shorter than in-person visits, which can increase the number of patients seen in a day, increasing access to more patients.
