The meteoric rise of telemedicine early in the COVID-19 pandemic might easily be mistaken for an ephemeral trend—one reaching its zenith in a moment of crisis. To the contrary, momentum has been mounting for telehealth over decades. The recent increase in telecare reveals its potential to deliver efficient, patient-centered, high-quality care in an increasingly technology-dependent landscape. Prior to COVID-19, surgeons lagged behind medical counterparts in embracing telemedicine; however, the pragmatic imperatives for remote care of patients and changes to Medicare removed key barriers to adoption. Otolaryngology–head and neck surgery has innovated across subspecialties, leading in COVID-19 scholarship and year-over-year publications on telemedicine. Yet, improved access to subspecialists is tempered by a digital divide that threatens to exacerbate disparities. Otolaryngology is poised to lead the transformation of procedural specialties while ensuring equitable care.

Daunting Task

With passage of the Affordable Care Act, the ever-evolving landscape of health care braces for another shift in the reimbursement paradigm. As health care costs continue to rise, providers are pressed to deliver efficient, high-quality care at flat to minimally increasing rates. Inherent systemwide inefficiencies between payers and providers at various clinical settings pose a daunting task for enhancing collaboration and care coordination. A change from Medicare’s fee-for-service reimbursement model to bundled payments offers one avenue for resolution. Pilots using such payment models have realized varying degrees of success, leading to the development and upcoming implementation of a bundled payment initiative led by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation. Delivery integration is critical to ensure high-quality care at affordable costs across the system. Providers and payers able to adapt to the newly proposed models of payment will benefit from achieving cost reductions and improved patient outcomes and realize a competitive advantage.

Telemedicine embraces the concept of global health-care. In order to realize the internationalization of the practice of medicine, licensing issues need to be addressed. Most countries have their own regulations on licensing to protect the patient and ensure high-quality care. International licensing regulations are likely to result in the standardization of medical practice.

Digitalisation and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for health and wellbeing are crucial today for providing high - quality care. Gamified solutions can be used in health care to promote health of the customers or to train health care professionals. Games for Health Finland network activates co-creation workshops, Game Jams, for creating prototypes for more efficient health care. These events bring together people with different backgrounds with a spark of innovation and to get a break from their normal routines and working environment. During the eHealth2018 conference a short Game Jam that lasted only 18 hours was organized, with 20 jammers from across the Finland.
