There’s a law that says if you are a Medicare recipient, to get telehealth you have to be in a health profession shortage area. It’s a very 1990s view of telehealth but it's the law. It's being ignored now because the law got thrown out during the public health emergency. But unless we change it, we will have a very strong downward draft on enthusiasm around telehealth because as you know, when Medicare goes, so does the rest of the payer community.

A lot of the manufacturers don't have a process for updating software or technology within the medical device itself. The other challenge is there's just so many. At Cook Children's we have 20,000 medical devices on our network. If you can imagine trying to manage, keep up and ensure that they're all at the right software code levels or even just still in good functioning order. Something of that magnitude is really hard for an organization to manage when you don't have good tools to do that. So pile the security risk on with the fact that there's so many tools or devices out there today, you really kind of create this perfect storm of issues that need to be addressed in healthcare.

Employee health has become a strategic imperative. We've always talked about provider health, which is important, but today it doesn't matter if you're a provider or a non-provider, every employee in every health system is stressed to a point. And the behavioral health of our very own has become an important factor.
