Author: HealthIMPACT Live March 3, 2026 Duration: 48:36

With the administration signing the Consolidated Appropriations Act on February 3, 2026, extending Medicare telehealth flexibilities through December 2027, and patient demand driving unprecedented adoption, virtual care has moved from emergency response to fundamental transformation of clinical practice. Dr. Brandon Welch, founder and CEO of doxy.me, a platform facilitating 8 billion+ minutes of care across 1 million providers in 176 countries, examines how the proliferation of telehealth is reshaping medicine itself: clinical workflows, patient-provider relationships, access equity, and sustainable practice models. Drawing from his book Telehealth Success, Brandon delivers actionable strategies for healthcare leaders navigating the five pillars determining telehealth ROI: patient engagement, clinician efficiency, technology scalability, financial viability, and regulatory compliance in an era where patients expect care everywhere.

  • Five-pillar framework for achieving sustainable telehealth success across organizations
  • Financial sustainability models leveraging the two-year Medicare telehealth extension through 2027
  • Clinical practice transformation reshaping how medicine is delivered and experienced
  • Provider success strategies addressing burnout, workflow integration, and practice transformation
  • Access and equity insights from 176-country, 1 million+ provider implementation
