Beyond Handwashing: How the Pandemic Will Change Health Care

Teisberg speaking to a class

The pandemic has exacerbated – and been exacerbated by – structural problems within the health care system and the economy. Increasingly, the devastating impact of the pandemic is showing up in surging rates of death among people without the disease.

The urgent needs of the pandemic have necessitated an almost blinding pace of change. Co-founders of the Value Institute for Health and Care, Professors Elizabeth Teisberg and Scott Wallace, will look at some of the most dramatic changes and their future implications, starting with the almost overnight adoption of telehealth, the composition and interactions of care teams, new payment models and the changing relationships of clinicians and patients.
