Next-Gen: The Role of Virtual-First Care (V1C) to Uplevel Care Delivery
Integrating V1C to Improve Population Health
Explore the role of V1C as a pivotal component in managed care strategies, acting as the first line of defense to improve population health. This approach aims to optimize healthcare outcomes by leveraging primary care interventions before resorting to more expensive components. An example of this strategy is the integration of virtual providers to improve metabolic health in the era of GLP1s.

Implementing Complementary Care Models
Examine novel care models that seamlessly integrate virtual and brick-and-mortar providers, fostering collaboration for comprehensive care that places the patient at the center. Case studies, such as the partnership between Ayble Health and Mayo Clinic, show how effective partnerships between virtual and traditional care providers can complement each other to enhance health outcomes, particularly in conditions like IBS and IBD.

Expanding V1C Access
As these care delivery models continue to prove their ability to achieve better population health, the next step is making these platforms more accessible to a larger patient population. Examples like Omada Health’s recent partnership with Amazon Health Services to increase awareness and discoverability of its cardiometabolic programs through Amazon’s new Health Condition Programs showcases how virtual services can be seamlessly incorporated into large-scale platforms to increase access to critical healthcare services and have a broader impact on population health.
