Background
Chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes (T2D) complicated by hypertension are major public health concerns requiring innovative care models. While comprehensive telehealth—integrating remote monitoring and nurse-led support—has shown promise in integrated health systems, its application in predominantly fee-for-service (FFS) environments remains sparse. Understanding the effectiveness and implementation challenges in FFS systems is vital as these models vastly differ from integrated systems in care coordination and reimbursement structures.
