Telemedicine Hack: A learning community to accelerate telemedicine implementation for ambulatory providers
Wednesdays, 12:00-1:00pm ET
Although telemedicine use has grown exponentially during the COVID-19 pandemic, many ambulatory providers still lack the knowledge and skills needed to implement video-based telemedicine into their practices. To support wide adoption of telemedicine, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response is partnering with the ECHO Institute at the University of New Mexico and the Public Health Foundation (PHF) to deliver a virtual peer-to-peer learning community called Telemedicine Hack.
There is no cost to join the Telemedicine Hack initiative. All ambulatory providers (e.g., primary care, surgical, rural/urban, dental, mental health, solo practitioners, physical therapy, school-based practitioners) are invited to participate.
Key Components of Telemedicine Hack
Sessions on key topics (e.g., workflows, documentation, reimbursement) highlighting best practices and case studies from the field
Virtual “office hour” discussion panels with case presenters, government agencies, topical experts, and stakeholder associations responding to your questions
Inter-session peer-to-peer learning facilitated via virtual discussion boards and ad hoc interest groups
CME/CEU credits are available for attending, at no cost to participants
