Libraries are well-known for having reliable digital infrastructure and responding to consumer health information needs. As telehealth services become an increasingly prominent part of the healthcare landscape, library workers may wonder if or how they can support sustainable telehealth access in their communities. The National Consortium of Telehealth Resource Centers (NCTRC) provides timely and accurate information on telehealth across the nation. Library workers of all kinds can benefit from learning how to access support from NCTRC.

The enactment of the 21st Century Cures Act and the pandemic-related emergence of telehealth have made digital tools a central part of care. These changes have made digital disparities evident and prompted a need to develop a digitally inclusive healthcare system. Academic medical centers (AMCs) across the country have become leaders in developing digital health equity strategies to drive care. As part of the AAMC initiatives to improve healthcare access, collaborate with communities, and advance health equity, the AAMC interviewed 11 AMCs about their current and future strategies focused on digital health equity. This presentation will provide a summary of interviews focusing on the following areas: establishing digital health equity Leadership, strategy, and advocacy, assessing, and addressing digital needs, and adapting the design and implementation of digital tools.
