What does it really take to deliver equitable care to the most vulnerable Medicare patients -- virtually, across all 50 states?
Rosa Hart sits down with Bonnie Sloma, SVP of Clinical Services at CareTalk Health, a national virtual care organization serving patients in all 50 states and D.C. With 42 years of nursing experience -- from the NICU to large-scale telehealth leadership -- Bonnie brings frontline wisdom and systems-level vision to one of healthcare's hardest problems.
In this episode:
- How CareTalk delivers Annual Wellness Visits entirely virtually
- Using face-scan technology to catch dangerously high blood pressure early
- Why 50% of their patients have no primary care provider
- CCM, RPM, and RTM -- explained in plain language
- The loneliness and depression crisis among seniors
- What "clinical prejudice" means and why naming it matters
- Bonnie's vision for a $1 billion solution: equitable care for every American, regardless of zip code
The bottom line: Virtual care isn't a lesser version of in-person care. For millions of Americans, it's the only care.
