Bedlack talks with ABC11 about past, present, and future of telehealth

In response to the COVID-19 epidemic, DukeHealth has accelerated its services to treat patients remotely via video and audio calls. Before the epidemic, DukeHealth providers performed just 100 video calls and 50 audio calls per month; now our providers are giving 400 video calls and 300 audio calls per day. Duke Neurologist Rick Bedlack, MD, PhD, who has been treating patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis via telehealth for years, recently spoke with ABC11 about why he thinks our improved telehealth infrastructure may be one of the few good things to come out of the crisis. Watch that video here.
