Episode 36 Interview with Kyle Zebley, Senior Vice President of Public Policy at the American Telemedicine Association and Executive Director, ATA Action
In this episode you’ll be hearing from the first policy expert we’ve had on our show and we don’t think we could have brought you a better one!
It is important for us to emphasize this interview would not have been possible without the great coordinated cooperation from Gina Cella Senior VP of Strategic Connections and Ann Mond Johnson CEO of the ATA, so we want to thank them both here as well along with all the great work their team does every day to support this common mission of advancing telehealth.
We’ve learned lessons through the pandemic of telehealth’s ability to bridge care gaps, improve care coordination and fill healthcare workforce shortages. With all that now known, virtual care delivery could still be in danger of heading over the “telehealth cliff” without permanent policy changes and action as Kyle explains it well in this episode.
Mike and I both believe strongly the impact of policy changes will be a critical piece in shaping future delivery of rehabilitative stroke care and recovery into the home with improved outcomes. So let’s dive in, listen and learn more from Kyle!
