BHECN Presents: Telehealth Training
Link: http://webmedia.unmc.edu/bhecn/Telehealth/story.html
Telehealth is a hot topic in health care access right now.
The use of telehealth is expanding, increasing access
for patients across the nation. But how do you set up
service that meets all of the legal, ethical, and practice
requirements? How do you make it work for you?
“Can I really form a therapeutic alliance with patients in
a session conducted with telehealth? “Is it really as
effective as face to face sessions? “"Why would I want
to go through the trouble of setting up telehealth? Will
this actually grow my practice?" What if the technology
fails?
In this interactive module, you will answer the questions above, by learning about telehealth
evolution and its current use. The module will also identify various indications of behavioral
telehealth service delivery, describe telehealth etiquette and best practices, and demonstrate
basic skills necessary to navigate the use of a telehealth platform.
