In recent years, telehealth — and its subcategory, telemedicine — has seen its usage spike dramatically as healthcare continues to go through a historically transformative period. The COVID-19 pandemic may help explain this boom to some extent, but the technology’s expansion is nevertheless indicative of a long-term change in the way patients and healthcare workers interact. After all, telehealth offers a safe, efficient solution to many medical needs, without the patient having to leave their home.
The Stanford Center for Health Education (SCHE) Telehealth: Strategy, Implementation, and Optimization XSeries program allows you to explore the strategic considerations and best practices of telehealth and telemedicine. Learners examine the clinical, operational, financial, and legal factors of telehealth, and assess how this technology can become a bridge to equitable healthcare access.
In the program, you’ll learn to overcome telehealth’s risks and barriers, and equip yourself to make the most of its opportunities. Finally, you’ll explore how to effectively empower your organization’s telehealth efforts in enabling successful implementation and ongoing optimization of telehealth delivery.
