Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates for benefiting from this research include patients who rely on telehealth services for their healthcare needs.
✕Less likely to help
Patients who do not use telehealth services or have access to in-person healthcare may not receive direct benefits from this research.
What this research studies
This project aims to gather experts from various fields to discuss and create best practices for telehealth services that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic. The conference will focus on developing guidelines and policies to ensure that telehealth remains a high-quality, equitable option for patients across the United States. By bringing together healthcare leaders, researchers, and patient advocates, the goal is to reflect on the rapid changes in healthcare delivery and establish a roadmap for sustainable telehealth practices. The outcomes will be shared nationally to influence future telehealth policies and practices.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved telehealth services that provide equitable access to quality healthcare for all patients.
How similar studies have gone: While telehealth has been rapidly adopted, this initiative aims to formalize best practices and policies, making it a novel approach to sustaining telehealth services.
