If you\u2019ve followed Healthcare IT Today and our Health IT Interviews podcast, you know it\u2019s pretty rare that I have the same guest on the show and when I do it\u2019s usually a year or a half dozen years apart.  However, when we finished recording the episode \u201cWhat Makes Specialty Acute Care Telehealth Different?\u201d with John Kalix, CEO at SOC Telemed, we stumbled upon a topic that I felt deserved another episode.  That topic was a look at the various Business Dynamics associated with Specialty Telehealth.  

In this episode we talk about all the business dynamics for a hospital or health system that might be looking at whether they should have a specialists in house and when they should consider using a specialty specific telehealth option.  Does the size of the organization matter?  Does the \u201csupply\u201d of a certain specialist influence the decision?  Are there some specialties that are better for this than others?  

Plus, we also dive into the details around the costs of a telehealth specialist versus one in house.  Plus, we talk about the cost of locum tenens specialists and those cost as compared with a telehealth specialist.  What\u2019s the ROI model to consider?  Finally, we talk about the pros and cons of the experience a specialty doctor will have doing telehealth vs in-person.
