Join Us at the American Telemedicine Association ATA2023 Annual Conference & Expo

With only a few weeks until ATA2023 – the American Telemedicine Association’s 27th Annual Conference & Expo – our team looks forward to seeing people from across the telemedicine industry for conversations and insights about the future of digital health.

This year’s conference will explore the theme “From Now What? To How To! The Vision and Realities of Telehealth Adoption,” examining the new reality for patients and providers alike that want access to telehealth services for a range of healthcare interactions. As we reenter the ‘new normal’ and reimagine what health care will look like in the next year and beyond, the vision for sustainable telehealth is coming into focus.

In more than 100 sessions, the conference provides opportunities to learn about emerging business models, policy priorities and regulatory hurdles, clinical applications to reimagine the health and care journey, and find solutions to address critical issues including provider burnout and health care disparities.

ATA2023 will feature deep-dive sessions addressing some of the industry’s biggest challenges and opportunities, a dynamic main stage spotlighting noted innovators and their vision for the future, as well as fireside chats, panel discussions, and practical case studies.

It’s a Question of Trust: Engaging Patients and Building Trust Across the Lifespan

On Monday, March 6^th, at 2:00 PM CT, leading digital health leaders will discuss the question of trust around several angles such as cross-generational and cultural factors. Trust is a key component for any relationship and, in healthcare, essential in building security between patient, provider and the healthcare system as a whole. Building – and rebuilding – trust that lasts across a patient’s lifespan is comprised of many layers. How do we provide care to each patient where they are, considering how each access their care? How does trust influence how patients share their data and help them to truly “buy into” virtual care and the system as whole…as partners to help optimize their health continuum? This provocative discussion will explore these burning issues and more – and consider how we can truly conquer the issue of trust.
