Solid outcomes show e-health and chronically ill senior populations are compatible.
Why? Because at least one new study suggests that many seniors not only embrace Internet-based models, but in fact prefer them over more traditional DM approaches. Further, Internet-based programs often come with additional benefits that cannot be delivered via interactive voice response (IVR) or other delivery models. There are challenges involved with an e-health approach to be sure, but some providers are finding that they are rewarded for their efforts with solid outcomes.
