d.health 2016 Panel
The Next Generation House Call

Fueled by new technological advances, the 21st century house call is emerging chiefly to increase access to care. Point-of-care diagnostics, remote monitoring and increasingly ubiquitous broadband technology are enabling care to return to the home. At the same time, other forces, including aging populations, growing burden of chronic conditions, consumer empowerment, and the need for cost-effective care, are driving adoption.

[Excerpt from "The Return of the House Call", authored by 2016 d.health Advisory Board member, Senator Tom Daschle and Summit Co-Chair, Dr. Ray Dorsey. Annals of Internal Medicine, Vol. 162 No. 8, 21 April 2015]
