One of the
silver linings
of the COVID-19 pandemic has been the normalization and expansion of virtual care. Per a December 2021 report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, amid the pandemic, virtual care visits increased to 52.7 million in 2020 from approximately 840,000 in 2019. Even after more than two years since the start of the pandemic, the COVID-19 Healthcare Coalition reports seven out of 10 people still expect to receive care virtually.
This trend has inspired UnitedHealthcare, the nation’s largest health insurer, to create new health plans that place virtual care at the center. "What is new in this space is health plans centered around virtual care, offered as a choice to employees in open enrollment," says Dr. Rhonda Randall, executive vice president and chief medical officer at UnitedHealthcare Employer & Individual. "It’s important that we recognize the key role virtual care plays in patients’ health care strategies."
As Randall explains, the scope of virtual care has expanded beyond an urgent-care alternative—it’s now a robust part of medical, behavioral, and even dental care. Workplace health plan offerings are changing accordingly: Per UnitedHealthcare, six in 10 employers currently offer plans that provide access to virtual care.
As a part of UnitedHealthcare’s new virtual-first plans, patients get live navigation support to help them determine which care option is best and to provide access to in-person care if needed. "We have invested in a true connectedness between virtual care and brick-and-mortar providers," Randall says, "so it’s a seamless experience for patients."
And there are benefits: According to Randall, doctors find that virtual appointments promote continuity of care, particularly for those managing chronic conditions. "A primary care provider might want to see patients in person once or twice a year—but they can have virtual check-ins in between," she says.
Virtual care has also helped conquer a major hurdle to behavioral health care: access. "There are 10 times more licensed mental health care professionals per 100,000 people in Massachusetts than in Mississippi," Randall cites. "If we increase that access from urban to rural areas," she says, "and bring that care to broader populations, that will really help."
With more and more people choosing virtual-first health plans, it’s becoming clear that virtual care is a crucial part of addressing evolving health care needs. "Virtual-first plans will become more common as employers realize they can help cut costs, doctors see their effectiveness, and patients enjoy their convenience," Randall says. "They are a revolutionary component of our health system, with an important role to play in the future of health care."
What is the problem of behavioral health care in Mississippi?
选项
A、The number of qualified professionals is far from sufficient.
B、The public transport between rural and urban areas is inadequate.
C、Rural people are not allowed to access urban health care services.
D、It is quite hard to get a professional license for mental health care.
答案
A
解析
细节题。根据题干中的Mississippi可定位至第六段。第二句是对两个州的专业医护人员的数量进行对比,马萨诸塞州的专业人员数量是密西西比州的10倍。第一句指出,虚拟医疗还帮助克服了行为医疗保健的一个主要障碍:(医疗资源的)可及性。由此可知,密西西比州的医护人才数量是远远不足的,因此A项正确。B项和C项属于过度推理,原文是说要增加城市到农村地区的流动性,意思是城市的医疗资源比较丰富,农村资源缺乏,并不能推断出其背后是交通缺乏或者是政策限制的原因,故排除这两项。D项属于无中生有,文中并未指出精神健康医疗方面的专业执照很难申请,故排除。故本题答案为A项。
