Healthcare access should not depend on geography.
In a recent Becker's Hospital Review feature, Dr. Krisda Chaiyachati, Associate Vice President of Clinical Transformation at Ascension, shared how the organization is building a virtual care infrastructure that allows specialty expertise to reach patients across nine states. The strategy is designed to connect clinicians, patients, and services through a seamless technology layer that supports care regardless of location.
Rather than viewing virtual care as a standalone program, Ascension is integrating virtual capabilities directly into how care is delivered across its national footprint. As Ascension continues to expand virtual care capabilities, the focus remains on improving access and meeting patients where they are.
“Access, access, access is the key paradigm here,” Dr. Chaiyachati told Becker’s, emphasizing the organization’s commitment to ensuring patients across urban, rural, and underserved communities can connect to the care they need.
