The program, which has over 200 participating physicians, specialists and healthcare professionals, conducts 5,000 patient visits annually.

During Telemedicine Across the Care Continuum: Boosting Health Clinic Revenue and Closing Care Gaps, a 45-minute webinar on March 1, 2018, now available for replay, Maureen Ideker, RN, BSN, MBA, senior advisor for telehealth at Essentia Health, provides a roadmap of the program's implementation, challenges and successes as well as details on its new key components.
