Description

This timely expert session provides attendees opportunities to share their experiences and challenges regarding the implementation of telehealth in their hepatology practices. Faculty review a range of topics including: updated 2026 national policies around telehealth; evidence for implementing telehealth (eg, viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease, liver transplant); and existing models and toolkits. Experts feature case reviews of common challenges in implementing telehealth in practice as a way of introducing the topic and framing the discussion. This session is ideal for trainees, early-career or established clinicians/researchers, and policymakers who aspire to learn more about telehealth implementation and increasing health care access through telemedicine/telehealth.
