Sometimes it’s what you don’t know that leads to a significant breakthrough.  The journey from “it’s just not done that way” to “this makes just too much sense to do it any other way” can be a rocky one.

Virtual Care Insights is meant to assist in this journey by highlighting ideas and initiatives that  “bend the curve” in favor of lower healthcare costs and better health services access.  Some of the content posted here will be highly practical, some conceptual, and some provocative. Our goal is that all of the content you find here will be useful.

We’ve been through our share of innovation cycles both inside and outside of healthcare to understand that some “innovations” are just not very good ideas to begin with.  The hype-cycle in virtual healthcare is alive and well, and we hope the radar we’ve developed regarding innovation’s essential trade-offs will be of some value here.

No endorsements or criticisms of the people or companies or ideas we highlight should be assumed.  We’re just pointing out things that to us, as operators and technologists, seem to be worth knowing for those working in an around the virtual care sector.

Each posting will be introduced with some brief commentary intended to provide context and, occasionally, our point of view.  

Thanks for reading.
