Home Telehealth and The Triple Aim

Abstract

The Triple Aim is a framework developed to increase the value of healthcare through three interrelated components; improving the individual experience of care, improving the health of populations, and reducing the per capita cost of care for populations. Achieving the goals of the Triple Aim for everyone requires a fundamental change in how we deliver healthcare. A thoughtfully implemented home telehealth program has the potential to achieve these important endpoints for a large group of patients. However, its success is dependent upon numerous factors ranging from effective integration of technology and adoption to reimbursement policy.
