Abstract
Session Description: Mississippi understands the challenges and costs of a patient population with chronic diseases. The University of Mississippi Medical Center’s (UMMC) Center for Telehealth has a mission to bridge the gaps in the healthcare delivery system in order to improve the health of all Mississippians. Telehealth is able to connect rural residents to the specialists at the larger tertiary centers in the state, thus increasing access.In August 2014, the UMMC Center for Telehealth launched The Mississippi Diabetes Telehealth Network to pilot an advanced healthcare model on patients with uncontrolled diabetes living in the Mississippi Delta. The model employs evidenced based practice, multidisciplinary teams, and individualized nursing interaction in an effort to empower patients to better manage their diabetes. Our program focuses on decreasing health disparities; managing chronic diseases; reducing emergency room visits, hospital admissions and readmissions; and improving health quality while reducing the overall cost of care.
Topics include: - Clinical outcomes from pilot and how it paved the way for reimbursement in Mississippi - Cost effective care model for chronic disease management for patients living in under served areas.
- The need for collaborative approach to managing chronic disease

For the past 11 years, I’ve been building services that explore what the internet means to healthcare delivery. Two months after the iPhone was released back in 2007, I launched the world’s first mobile-powered house call doctor practice and it subsequently went viral racking up 7 million hits on my site in the first month of operations. Soon after, I co-founded Hello Health, one of the first cloud-based electronic medical records designed to power a new kind of medical practice— one that delivered care both in our offices in NYC and online with our patients. Hello Health continues to thrive powering cutting-edge practices around the world.
In 2010, I co-founded a design firm to work with large brands across the world to help them figure out what the internet means to health. Our clients included the NHS in the UK, Sanofi in Paris, Planned Parenthood of America, and Physicians Interactive. With Physicians Interactive, we ideated and designed one of the most popular iPad apps for physicians, Omnio. In 2012, I created Sherpaa and pioneered Virtual Primary Care. VPC combines the scalability and accessibility of telehealth with the continuity found in traditional primary care and enables our primary care doctors to manage 95% of the conditions a traditional office-based primary care doctor can manage. Sherpaa employs full-time physicians and delivers 24/7/365 primary care in 48 states to employees of self-funded companies, members of forward-thinking health plans, and directly to individuals.
I’m currently the CEO of Sherpaa and VPC’s main evangelist. I’ve spoken at over 50 conferences including TED, Google’s Zeitgeist, the Clinton Global Initiative, the Aspen Institute, Mayo Transform, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. I address new models of healthcare delivery, the future of primary care, design, and healthcare business model transformation.
