  5. Virtual Visits Can Widen Access To High-Quality Healthcare 6/17/2015

    If you live in an urban area, you likely take for granted there will be numerous hospitals and physician practices (including those with high-level subspecialty care) within a short distance of home. But for much of the world, access to even basic healthcare can be difficult. Those who live in rural areas of the U.S. and other countries often must travel long distances to see a primary care physician. Critical access hospitals, which provide much of the care for rural Americans, are struggling. Many are expected to close in the near future. And access to specialists and subspecialists is even more difficult. By Sid Nair, VP & Global General Manager, Dell Services Healthcare & Life Sciences
