The number of people living with one or more chronic conditions is growing. Employers are being impacted and are now, on average, spending 12x more on individuals with complex chronic conditions than they do on healthy individuals.1 This is one of many trends leading many employers to rethink their approach to chronic condition prevention and whole-person care management.
A new study by Teladoc Health surveyed 7,000+ adults with one or more chronic conditions to understand this population and address their unique healthcare challenges, including how chronic conditions shape their healthcare experience. Key findings show six in ten U.S. adults live with a chronic condition such as diabetes or hypertension, and four in ten U.S. adults live with two or more chronic conditions.2 Chronic conditions impact a person's ability to manage healthcare and their perceived ability to obtain quality care. During this live webinar, we will highlight the key findings of Teladoc Health's recent consumer study on the impact of chronic conditions management.
By attending this interactive panel discussion, you will learn about:
- The most common barriers to care and how to overcome them, including how organizations can support access to care for employees.
- The impact mental health has on those with chronic conditions.
- Why a primary care physician is integral to coordinating and improving care.
- How employers can use virtual care and digital tools to manage chronic conditions and their economic impact.
