Negligible ROI
• “No Bang for the buck” Reimbursement for telehealth service too low to be an incentive
• Sunk initial investment– Low resources for updates or
maintenance• 30-day re-hospitalization fines
may be an incentive but the sickest may be left out

Patient Empowerment or Over-dependence?• False sense of security• Home health model – Telehealth is removed at end of service– Need additional days to wean patients off telehealth

One Size does not fit all
• Risk-based classification informed by patient context in addition to biometrics– Health Literacy– Co-morbidities – Training & Education– Family support– Daily life routine– Mobility impairment– Cognitive impairment
• Intelligent adaptive alert system tailored to patient characteristics and contextual information

Effective Inter-professional Communication
• Lack of Telehealth growth is a symptom of the larger healthcare system malaise
• Clear goals and expectations for individual patients
• Inter-disciplinary collaborative planning on telehealth communication protocols
• Inter-operability to integrate telehealth data with EHRs

WHAT STARTS HERE CHANGES THE WORLD
Patient Empowerment• Add layer of responsibility• Patient-centric• Shift focus of telehealth from
collection of biometric data to informing or motivating behavior change
• Behavioral science techniques and personalized goal-setting should guide telehealth protocols that are designed to motivate behavior change
