The benefits of telehealth are clear: when high-quality care is safe and convenient, people are more likely to seek it. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, providers are experiencing exponential growth in patient desire for telehealth options. This course outlines the standards and best practices to use as a roadmap for designing a top-notch telehealth practice.
In this session learners will learn from a panel of clinicians who share their experiences with practicing via telehealth, discuss implications of using technology, and offer guidance on skills and standards necessary to met the demand for care delivered via telehealth now and in the future.
