We’re going to see telemedici­ne improve and take off, and though it will take years, distance medicine will become more normal versus the unusual situation it is now. Telemedici­ne is just another outlet to be able to provide care for patients from their home settings or from skilled-nursing facilities. If they authorize payment for Medicare patients for telemedici­ne, or if you see more Medicare Advantage and managed Medicare, telemedici­ne is a shoo-in. It just makes sense to be able to care for the patient population more effectivel­y.
