How Dr. Becker’s research is transforming health care
Dr. Becker is transforming health care with Telehealth that is coming into full use. Due to restrictions with face-to-face encounters as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the unit he and his team are currently using will allow rounding to be done in a hospital situation virtually, including patient rounds, ER throughput, and meetings.
