 | In the latest episode of MedStar Health DocTalk, host Debra Schindler talks with Dr. Ethan Booker, an emergency physician at MedStar Washington Hospital Center, and the chief medical officer of Telehealth at MedStar Health. The focus of the discussion is a pressing issue in healthcare: hospital readmissions. 

With the Affordable Care Act penalizing hospitals for patient readmissions within 30 days, healthcare systems are under pressure to innovate and enhance patient care beyond hospital walls. Dr. Booker shares his insights on how MedStar Health is tackling this challenge through innovation and technology.
