knows, during the pandemic we have seen expansions both to the cares act and through the actions of cms and dhs a that have really facilitated telehealth, both in terms of being able to work from home to have home be part of the telehealth picture rather than just specially set up for health studio. the expansion of people who can provide the health, practitioners who can provide the help, and finally the recognition that in some cases taken when there's a lack of broadband, telephone, audio only is an important part of this. i don't think they can be stressed enough what an important development this is. it took, i guess it took the pandemic. we all know those of us who've been working on this for years, and i remember visiting early telehealth systems when i was governor of maine 25 years ago, but to see it expand to the level and everybody has heard the numbers. at the beginning of the pandemic, 12,000 telehealth visits a week. and by the middle of june, a million telehealth visits a week. that's just an amazing, unbelievable change and its provided access, editing people are now rea

the cms provided waivers for reimbursement for telehealth. a video telehealth and phone telehealth in order to make sure access to care stood. what we need to make sure is higher reimbursement rates on par with a personal visit don't go away. that will make a huge difference for providers who need to be able to have a reimbursement that is sustainable. it's also, i think, partly a shift in attitude toward patients. this is going to vary a lot depending on who the patients are. but here is just an example, one example of this, a story i heard about a person in rural minnesota who needed a mental health care. he was very -- this person was very unwilling to drive to the doctor's office because it felt so exposed. there still is so much stigma around mental health. however, that ability to get care in the privacy of their own home made it actually more accessible because they were protected from some of that feeling of being exposed that is a barrier to people getting mental health care. so i think it can work both for patients as well as the pr

system, as i went back into the historical literature, at the time and a loa lot ofthe objections were cm the conservatives, from the political right and making the same argument progressives are making now but from the other side, so conservatives in the late 30s were saying wait a minute, if a bad guy is able to evade arrest then the system treats him like he's innocent and will recommend his release to other people like him. if someone is wrongfully arrested and convicted they don't have the training data and it would recommend attention of other people like them. this is the same argument framed a different way but that is a problem and we are starting to see groups like for example the partnership on ai which is a nonprofit industry coalition with 100 different stakeholders. the second component i want to highlight that's worth highlighting is this question of what do you do with the prediction once you havet so let's say you've got a higher than average chance you are going to fail to make your scheduled court appointment. that's a prediction. a second qution which is what do we do
