Remote patient monitoring (RPM) adoption accelerated over the past 18 months in response to COVID-19, but its use going forward will be essential to the future of care delivery in the U.S. RPM and the continuous care models it enables through real-time data access is uniquely suited to the challenges of chronic condition management.

These personal health data provide ongoing insight into a person’s day-to-day health metrics, lifestyle and behavioral decisions, and subsequent trends. At scale, they have demonstrated an ability to reduce urgent care visits, ER visits, and hospital admissions. Moreover, Validic-powered programs have demonstrated sustained engagement – 76% of members are capturing device readings twice a day after 90 days in the program.

The Technical Assistance and Service Center (TASC) has partnered with the Northwest Regional Telehealth Resource Center (NRTRC) to produce a Critical Access Hospital (CAH) Telehealth Guide. This guide provides information and guidance for the assessment and implementation of telehealth services for CAHs including purchasing, staffing, maintenance, reimbursement, and reporting for outpatient services. The guide includes best practices and resources developed by subject matter experts, technical consultants, and telehealth resource centers (TRCs). The objective is to provide Flex Programs and CAHs with a comprehensive guide that will allow them a singular point of reference for CAH telehealth standards with direct content and/or links to appropriate public and federal resources.

We all know that therapeutic relationships and trust are key to achieving the quadruple aim. Thankfully, most of
us have found ways around the intrusion of the EHR and the impact on our relationship with each patient, but
now add telehealth and audio-only visits into the mix. Let’s take a deep dive into strategies to form and maintain
those all-important trusting relationships while we are delivering remote health care services, especially for
mental health.

This webinar provides practical guidance on implementing and sustaining telehealth to optimize health care service delivery, expand access, and enhance care coordination for Critical Access Hospitals (CAH). Just as health care organizations strive to take a person-centered approach to health care, this guide seeks to take a CAH-centered approach to telehealth that keeps the patient and community at the forefront. The target audience is any individual, team or organization seeking to implement or expand telehealth services in the CAH setting.

When the COVID-19 pandemic began and a sharp pivot towards telehealth was made, policymakers quickly realized that not everyone would have access to video technology. Audio-only was quickly allowed as a modality to deliver services. Now, policymakers are deciding whether the temporary audio-only policies should be made permanent. Panelists will discuss what their Medicaid programs may or have already decided to do.

COVID-19 has spurred Medicaid programs to expand their telehealth policies. It has also encouraged them to examine the effects and impacts of such policies and engaging stakeholders more often than before. Learn about the efforts some Medicaid programs have made in collecting data and working with other groups as they work on solidifying the next steps in their telehealth policy development.

1 - Successfully Engaging Hard to Reach Populations with Telehealth

This interactive four-week mini-series will explore the telehealth challenges encountered by FQHCs during the start of the pandemic, including engagement of hard to reach populations, staff engagement, making smart and effective telehealth technology decisions and decisions about where to go with telehealth after the end of the public health emergency.

Presenter:  http://wyomingtelehealth.org/

This webinar series will provide a foundation in understanding how telehealth providers can identify the best candidates for telehealth, how to keep those patients engaged throughout their visit, and how to create more health equity through telehealth. We will examine approaches from different specialty providers and telehealth managers who will inspire innovative approaches providers can use in their own practices.

As the pandemic continues, telehealth continues to be the most viable tool to help patients and providers maintain treatment and deliver healthcare in a safe, effective and affordable manner. Join us for one or all three parts of the series!
