As the coronavirus pandemic worsened, telehealth went from being a supplemental offering to an essential tool virtually overnight. While progress in digital healthcare has been building for several years, in many ways we were not prepared for such a sudden and dramatic shift. Research into the efficacy of teletherapy is sparse, the tools at our disposal are not always reliable or intuitive, and licensure regulations changed overnight to allow providers to practice across state lines. For this Alma In Conversation, Vice President of Medical Affairs at American Well, Sylvia Romm, and health care lawyer at Foley and Lardner LLP, Emily Wein, joined Alma founder and CEO, Harry Ritter, to discuss structural readiness for telehealth in the mental health care space and the ever-evolving regulatory landscape. Alma In Conversation brings together experts in their field for an open discussion about themes and topics relevant to mental health care providers and their clients.
