Telehealth doesn't need high patient volumes to create financial impact.
In a hospital with ~25,000 ED visits annually, targeted telehealth coverage in cardiology, neurology, and radiology can generate over $1M in annual value. The driver isn't expanded services but faster access to specialty decisions.
The math:
• 469 inpatient days avoided → $843K in cost avoidance
• 4 telehealth encounters per day → $234K in professional fees
• Total impact: ~$1.08M annually
This model works because it removes bottlenecks.
Patients move through care faster when specialists are accessible when needed, not days later.
If you're curious to see how this applies to your hospital, we can run the numbers based on your volumes and specialties.
