In November 2023, Telehealth Tuesday’s focus was squarely on guidance on how to get more use out of telehealth.

In the 3rd article of the month I shared my ambitious vision of delivering 100% telehealth: that telehealth is used every time it’s desirable and appropriate.

However, to achieve that vision (some call it a dream), first, clinicians need to be guided to use telehealth well, which sets enables the most effective of the three telehealth marketing tactics.

I wrapped up the month with a reminder that in order to achieve extraordinary telehealth, just like personal self-actualization, we first need to meet key basic needs and key psychological needs, as proposed by Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.
