Executive Session: Effective telehealth in pediatrics, OB/GYN to counter future spikes in COVID-19

Medical practice leaders are no longer “swimming in a sea of question marks” in trying to manage the COVID-19 pandemic should infection numbers spike throughout flu season, according to Richard T. Schlosberg IV, MD, pediatrician at ABCD Children’s Pediatrics, San Antonio, Texas. Dr. Schlosberg, who also is a member of the MGMA-ACMPE Board of Directors, joined William R. “Bill” Hambsh, CPA, FACMPE, MGMA-ACMPE Board Chair and chief executive officer, North Florida Women’s Care, Tallahassee, Fla., for a discussion of the ways telemedicine has been a “lifeline” in the early months of the pandemic and its potential for effective, quality care delivery going into future waves of the pandemic and long-term use in a variety of specialties.
