Why it's time to question medical traditions

Today's episode features Brian Gelbman, a pulmonary and critical care physician. The COPD management space is facing a growing crisis, with a shortage of pulmonologists and respiratory therapists, and limited access to pulmonary rehabilitation facilities. This has resulted in a fragmented care landscape that leaves patients with limited options and a lack of continuity in their care journey.

Brian will discuss the urgent need for digital innovation in the COPD care space. He'll talk about the benefits of virtual care models, including remote patient monitoring, on-demand coaching, and regular touchpoints for patients to engage with their health. These solutions can streamline clinical workflows for providers and monitor for acute exacerbations to improve health outcomes.

Join us as we explore the ways in which virtual care innovations can transform the paradigm of care for patients with COPD. From improving medication adherence to making pulmonary rehabilitation more accessible, the adoption of digital health solutions is crucial to address the growing crisis in the COPD management space.

Revolutionizing COPD management with virtual care solutions

In this episode, we're joined by Kyle Claussen, a physician contract attorney. Are you a physician who's unsure of what your salary and benefits should be? You're not alone.

But having access to accurate and up-to-date compensation data is crucial when negotiating your employment contract.

MGMA is widely regarded as the gold standard in physician compensation reports, but it's not the only option available.
