As I did last month I am talking to Craig Joseph, MD (@CraigJoseph) Chief Medical Officer at Avaap.

With the worldwide focus on COVID19, we get into some of the key details of the Pandemic including which groups of people are affected (hint it’s not just the elderly), what the fatality rate is and how and why it might vary and a discussion on testing.

Listen in to hear details of countries that have handled this Pandemic better than others and we close finding some silver linings in the news around this Pandemic linked to a relaxation of regulations in healthcare for telemedicine practice and billing or meaningful use requirements or (Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS).
