At Lebanon, N.H.-based Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, telehealth isn’t delineated by technology. It’s simply a way to deliver care.

Kevin Curtis, MD, medical director of telehealth and connected care at DHMC, and Mary Oseid, DHMC senior vice president for regional operations and strategy, are heavily involved in the direction of the health system’s telehealth program. Since the program’s launch in 2012, DHMC has completed an estimated 20,000 video encounters in addition to more than 1 million telepharmacy orders, according to Dr. Curtis.

Here, Dr. Curtis and Ms. Oseid discuss their respective leadership roles within DHMC’s telehealth program and their predictions for the future of telehealth in traditional care settings.
