About This Webinar

COPD often coexists with cardiovascular disease, such as congestive heart failure, and together they are responsible for over $80 billion in health care costs each year. As the population ages, these chronic diseases will only grow in frequency, which increases risk for hospitalization and contributes to complexities in care needs. Challenges such as a dearth of specialists, timely access to care, rural isolation, coordination of care, and siloed treatment approaches continue to threaten outcomes for cardiopulmonary patients, driving up the overall cost of care.

Scalable, person-centered solutions are needed to better manage these diseases, mitigate costs, and improve outcomes. This webinar will explore how payers and providers are bridging gaps in care with virtual specialty care and innovative technology to address the unique challenges and needs of cardiopulmonary patients.

Attendees Will Learn About

  • Why cardiopulmonary conditions demand immediate attention
  • How integrated and continuous cardiopulmonary care can improve the care experience
  • Payer and provider points of view on strategic approaches to reducing costs while improving quality of care
  • Innovative, value-based solutions that close care gaps
