What happens when you do the obvious/logical thing in healthcare?

If today’s flavor of telehealth is 10 minute video/phone conversations with pink eye doctors, and those doctors can’t manage your issues for the long term, well, you can’t take advantage of new ways to manage expensive chronic issues like this one.

“People who monitor their own blood pressure and share the readings with their physician get better control,” said the lead author, Dr. Richard J.

If a good proportion of those self-monitored, it would lead to a big reduction in stroke.”
