Telehealth is no longer just a way to digitally connect with patients—it is changing the way we deliver, coordinate, and improve surgical care. This panel will highlight innovations in telehealth that are advancing cancer care delivery, improving access for rural and underserved populations, and expanding the reach of complex surgical services. Panelists will explore how virtual platforms are being used to enhance quality and continuity of care, enable timely multidisciplinary collaboration, and support patients across the perioperative continuum. Additionally, telementoring creates new opportunities for real-time intraoperative guidance, surgical education, and workforce development—particularly in low-resource or geographically isolated settings. The session will also address how telehealth tools are being integrated into quality improvement initiatives and how new models of virtual care are redefining metrics for surgical excellence.
