Attendees will benefit from the perspectives shared by experts in how these may apply to their organizations’ key stakeholders.

TAG Digital Health will bring expert panelists from the following areas

• Clinical Providers/ Care givers: Providers and caregivers are a key group of first responders for this pandemic. This community of professionals are the most vulnerable to the risks from exposure to the virus as they test and treat individuals who come through their E/R, clinics, and outpatient departments or are already occupying an inpatient bed.  Kyle Adams, will share a clinicians perspective of the situation crisis.
• Technology Providers: During these times of social distancing, sheltering-at-home and other strategies requiring people to keep safe physical distances among themselves, how is technology helping shrink the distance between co-workers, social networks, patients and their caregivers. Faraz Zubairi will share his insights on the use of telehealth during this crisis.
• Supply Chain: Given that a large portion of the U.S. healthcare ecosystem’s source of medical supplies, including key Rx and OTC drugs, come from the Covid-19 hotspot China, the current disruption in all trading/ economic activity with China poses a serious long-term economic impact to its trading partners especially U.S.A. There will be winners and losers. Hunter Fleetwood will share his insights on the impacts on the global HC supply chain
