We are adding additional telehealth policy information relevant to coronavirus/ COVID-19 pandemic as it impacts health centers as it becomes available.

Developed by The California Telehealth Resource Center.

This webinar focused on a very popular area in which telehealth can help deliver services: Mental/Behavioral Health. Telehealth has been shown to be an effective way in providing mental and behavioral health services and is one of the specialties many public and private payers will reimburse for if technology is utilized. This webinar explained how to integrate telemental/behavioral health into your organization. Get tips and hear stories from clinics who have successfully done so to help you establish your own program.

There is increased interest in how telehealth can be used to address substance use disorders (SUD) as well as funding by governmental agencies to provide such services. However, what type of SUD services can a community health center offer via telehealth? This webinar discussed potential ways in which clinics can integrate these services into their organization and the potential issues they may encounter.

HRSA’s Mid-Atlantic Telehealth Resource Center offered a webinar featuring experts that have developed telehealth-enabled school health centers in rural communities. These health centers provide telehealth services for rural children that focus on asthma, obesity reduction and prevention, behavioral health, diabetes, and oral health. Hear about the successes, challenges, and lessons learned from their HRSA-supported telehealth network grant project.
