Summary
Health systems in the U.S. are struggling to keep patients engaged outside of hospital settings as many people turn to more convenient care options, potentially jeopardizing continuity of care. In response, VHC Health has partnered with HealthTap to provide on-demand urgent care services through video consultations, aiming to reduce unnecessary emergency visits while maintaining connections to in-person providers. This collaboration extends patient access to healthcare 365 days a year, addressing care gaps and promoting ongoing engagement within VHC’s ecosystem. The initiative highlights the importance of integrating digital solutions into traditional healthcare models to enhance patient retention and satisfaction.
