Let’s Talk Techquity: Addressing Specialized Population Needs through Digital Health
Overview
Telehealth has always been a way for more people to receive care and helps address issues of health inequities. It allows people in rural populations to reach providers, addresses scheduling challenges for working families and strengthens interprofessional connections for better patient care. However, there’s still much work to do to meet the needs of some specific populations.
In this webinar, URAC-accredited organizations Children’s National Hospital, AbleTo, and Texas Tech University shared how they are working to improve the quality of and access to care for children, people experiencing mental health challenges, and incarcerated individuals. We explored the needs of niche populations and look at how innovation in digital health can make an impact in addressing and alleviating systemic issues of health equity.
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will be able to state how telehealth allows for better care for specialized populations.
- Participants will be able to reiterate how the use of telehealth can have a positive effect on addressing and alleviating systemic issues of health equity.
