The new year will bring a fresh set of risks to the healthcare and cybersecurity industries as technologies and processes spurred on by COVID-19 become more permanent. While the last two years have been “tragic and very trying,” it also catapulted telehealth “off of the sidelines and into the mainstream,” associate Jake Harper said during an interview with HealthcareExecIntelligence for its Healthcare Strategies podcast.
Jake explained that being at this stage creates “certain opportunities. Remote patient monitoring and telehealth will become a more permanent fixture of healthcare in 2022, along with the hybrid model that will sustain them. And policymakers will have to adjust the regulatory space to fit this new reality, including refining remote therapeutic monitoring codes.”
