Technical Committee

The NRTRC Technical Committee is made up of regional telehealth technology subject matter experts and meet bi-monthly on the second Wednesday of the month. The Technical Committee addresses new advances in technology, assists one another with technical challenges, and shares lessons learned. This telehealth technology community represents a pool of technical expertise that can offer guidance to those new to telehealth.

A few of the goals of the NRTRC Technical committee will include:

• Regular meetings of technical staff supporting telehealth programs and networks in the NRTRC to share information on technical solutions, lessons learned, and assist one another with technical issues
• Report and relay information on the technology being utilized for telehealth to offer guidance and advice
• Serving as expertise resources for technical assistant requests related to technology
• Utilize and collaborate with the TTAC National Technical Committee, to learn about technical updates in the industry and equipment selection.

If you are interested in joining the technical committee, or would like to nominate someone, please see our NRTRC Technical Committee Form.

Call for Tribal Committee Members

The Northwest Regional Telehealth Resource Center (NRTRC), a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) funded entity, is looking to expand their focus committees to include tribal representation as part of their stakeholders. The mission of these committees is to advance the development, implementation and integration of telehealth programs. As a result of the feedback received from the 2021 NRTRC Annual Telehealth Conference tribal break-out session, the NRTRC is inviting representation from the various tribes throughout the northwest region (AK, ID, MT, OR, UT, WA and WY) to include both American Indians and Alaska Native people. It is proposed that this committee will meet for one hour increments on a quarterly basis. If you would like to learn more or nominate someone to represent the tribal community as a committee member, please see our Tribal Initiatives Contact form.
