Signify Premium Insight: MDLive Plays Chronic Care Catch Up
Published: January 12, 2023
Two months ago, US telehealth services company MDLive announced it would be expanding its virtual primary care platform. For the first time, it will offer support tools to manage patients with chronic conditions. This will start with hypertension support tools, before expanding through 2023 to include other chronic conditions.
MDLive says the new chronic care management tools will support millions of patients who currently subscribe to its services via employer health benefits schemes in the US. It also claims that it is the first virtual primary care programme to offer a consistent stream of insights between the primary care physician, health provider and patient. This, it claims, will result in better care co-ordination.
