Progress on telehealth, burnout
The AMA continues its push to measure and mitigate physician burnout and advance telehealth. One innovation predicts the savings a health care institution would achieve by decreasing burnout.
Several digital innovations are also in development through Health2047 Inc., the AMA innovation subsidiary. The AMA was instrumental in working with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to loosen restrictions on telehealth payment and regulations during the public health emergency.
“With the expanded use of telemedicine, we are arguing for the flexibility extension along these lines,” Dr. Madara said.
“AMA Moving Medicine” highlights innovation and the emerging issues that impact physicians and public health today. You can catch every episode by subscribing to the AMA’s YouTube channel or the audio-only podcast version, which also features educational presentations and in-depth discussions.
