Join Tamir Aldad, a physician executive. We’ll explore the rapid growth of telehealth, the impact of venture capital investments, and the concerning trend of overprescription of medications like Adderall and benzodiazepines. Discover the risks associated with this phenomenon and the steps needed to prioritize patient well-being over profit-driven motives in the telemental health care industry.

Tamir Aldad is a physician executive.

He discusses the KevinMD article, “Venture-backed telemental health care companies are creating a new opioid epidemic.”

Our presenting sponsor is Nuance, a Microsoft company.

Do you spend more time on administrative tasks like clinical documentation than you do with patients? You’re not alone. Clinicians report spending up to two hours on administrative tasks for each hour of care provided. Nuance, a Microsoft company, is committed to helping clinicians restore the balance with Dragon Ambient eXperience – or DAX for short. DAX is an AI-powered, voice-enabled solution that helps physicians cut documentation time in half.
