ABSTRACT

During the COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine and telehealth saw a groundswell of growth, only to be shackled in the aftermath of the Public Health Emergency. A Think Tank, funded by Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, was held at Michigan State University in August 2024. This paper serves as an introduction to a series of articles focusing on the evolution and future of telehealth in a postpandemic world. It highlights key themes including patient equity, technology, clinical opportunities, research, and education, using Michigan as a model for national adaptation. The paper aims to ignite further discussion and innovation within the telehealth community.
