- Abstract:
- The COVID-19 pandemic drastically changed how patients receive health care services, with a rapid shift from in person care to care delivered via telehealth. On March 10, 2020, Governor Charlie Baker declared COVID-19 a public health emergency (Governor Charlie Baker, 2020). Since then, a number of state and federal policies were enacted to support the adoption of telehealth to help reduce the spread of the virus. This issue brief outlines these policy changes and examines how telehealth delivery and use shifted throughout the public health emergency. Our analysis is derived from a detailed literature review and qualitative interviews of health care stakeholders from throughout the Commonwealth. We conclude with policy suggestions to promote effective and efficient telehealth use in Massachusetts post-pandemic.
