Dr. Neil Evans, Office of Connected Care Chief Officer, recently sat (virtually) for an interview with the associate editor of Chief Healthcare Executive magazine. He offered in-depth answers to a wide range of questions about the size and scope of the Veterans Health Administration's health technology, big data, wait times, research, and many other topics.
"Last year, more than 5.6 million episodes of telehealth care were delivered to over 1.6 million Veterans," he said. "More than 27% of the population of Veterans that we serve received at least a portion of their care through telehealth."
