What the paper says

Among secondary digital EMOs obtained through a telemedicine platform, more than half of treatment strategies were changed, with surgical diversion observed for 40% of patient cases. Resultant treatment and diagnosis strategy changes may result in increased value for patients, payers, and participating healthcare entities as demonstrated through the economic projections established using real-world data. Further extrapolation of savings based on claim volume, capture rate, and various client sizes may provide additional insights into the utility of telemedicine in other spaces as it pertains to defining appropriate treatment pathways and adjusting optimized costs.
