Telehealth Direct Clinical Services

Objective

The Evidence Based Telehealth Network Program increases access to healthcare services utilizing Direct to Consumer technologies. It enhances the existing health care infrastructure and increases access to care for underserved populations utilizing synchronous video visits and remote patient monitoring for primary focus areas such as behavioral health, primary care, and acute care. It also conducts evaluations of those efforts to establish an evidence base for assessing the effectiveness of telehealth care for patients, providers, and payers. The Behavioral Health Integration Evidence Based Telehealth Network Program integrates behavioral health services into primary care settings using telehealth technology through telehealth networks and evaluates the effectiveness of such integration. The Telehealth Nutrition Services Network Grant Program will support telehealth networks that improve access to quality health care services through telehealth technology. This program will focus on chronic disease prevention and chronic disease management through comprehensive telehealth nutrition services.
