Study suggests video visits have significant cost, quality benefits

Interactive video offers new alternatives in caring for the chronically ill. It may not be a new idea, but caring for chronically ill patients via two-way video is gaining favor as more studies surface suggesting good outcomes as well as cost advantages. In fact, our diabetes project shows that merely adding video visits to a routine schedule of in-person visits is cost-efficient. And that's just for starters. See what kinds of savings are projected when video visits are actually substituted for in-person visits.
