Adam Darkins, MD, leads the
national telehealth programs
for the Department of Veterans
Affairs
(VA).
Successful
implementation of telehealth
within the VA involves the use of
health informatics and disease
management technologies to
enhance and extend care and
case management.
Under Dr. Darkins’ leadership, the VA has developed
the clinical, technology and business underpinnings
to successfully implement and sustain enterprise-wide
telehealth-based services that have demonstrably improved
access to care for patients, reduced utilization of health
care resources and been associated with very high levels of
patient satisfaction.
Since 1991, Dr. Darkins has worked in health services
development, including transitioning care from hospitals into
home and community settings and implementing enterprise
information technology systems in the US and UK. He has a
