In an iHealthBeat Special Report, officials from new online company American Well, the Urban Institute and the Hawaii Medical Services Association discuss plans to offer around-the-clock online access to physicians.
The Special Report includes comments from:
- Roy Schoenberg, president of American Well;
- Michael Stollar, vice president of marketing for Hawaii Medical Services Association; and
- Robert Berenson, senior health policy fellow at the Urban Institute.
American Well plans to use webcams, instant messaging, telephone calls and e-mail to link patients who need care with doctors who have time to go online. The first big test will start in about six months in Hawaii (Rebillot,
