New iPMI Global Report Defines Hybrid Care as the Future for Globally Mobile Populations

EntSun News/11078298
iPMI Global today announced the official release of the "iPMI Global Telemedicine and Remote Healthcare Strategies Round Table 2025," a landmark report providing a definitive analysis of the virtual health landscape.

MAYFAIR, U.K. - EntSun -- Synthesizing insights from top executives across the international private medical insurance (iPMI), medical assistance, and healthcare technology sectors, the report serves as an essential strategic roadmap for any organization operating in the global mobility ecosystem.

The report establishes that the sustained growth of telemedicine is driven by strategic imperatives that extend far beyond the initial push of the pandemic. For international employees, expatriates, and frequent travelers, virtual care has become an essential tool for accessing convenient, continuous, and high-quality healthcare across borders.

Key drivers identified:
  • Unmatched Convenience: Reducing friction for patients and providers is the primary value driver, according to Lizzie MacLehose (AP Companies) and Dr. Cai Glushak (AXA Partners US), who point to on-demand access from the privacy of home as a key factor in adoption.
  • Strategic Cost Management: Telemedicine serves as a powerful lever for cost containment by redirecting non-urgent care away from high-cost settings like emergency rooms, a point emphasized by Gitte Bach, CEO of New Frontier Group.
  • Pandemic-Driven Maturity: The pandemic acted as a powerful catalyst, forcing rapid technological advancements and solidifying user acceptance. Kevin Melton (IMG) and Dr. Mike Greiwe (HealthcareLive) note this permanent shift in patient trust, with HealthcareLive experiencing a "10000% increase in patient visits" in early 2020.

The report delves into the core operational hurdles that define the current market and highlights the innovative strategies industry leaders are deploying to overcome them. The roundtable executives unanimously agree that the future of healthcare delivery is not purely virtual but a hybrid model—a definitive and permanent evolution in care delivery that strategically blends remote services with essential in-person care.

The report distils the most significant challenges into an interconnected ecosystem of barriers:
  1. The Interoperability Hurdle: The difficulty of integrating disparate Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems remains the primary technical barrier to creating a unified care journey.
  2. The Regulatory Maze: The complexity of navigating cross-border and state-by-state physician licensure directly complicates the delivery of seamless care.
  3. The Patient Experience: The central challenge, as emphasized by Jennifer Milton (Compass Point Assist), is building and maintaining trust by balancing sophisticated technology with the essential "human touch"—an experience directly undermined by the regulatory and interoperability hurdles.
Success in this market is now defined by the ability to solve these complex integration challenges while delivering on the foundational "triple aim" of healthcare.
