Telehealth

Telehealth offers a way to span geography and improve access to care. This can be through direct patient care, provider education, or some combination.  Whatever the use of telehealth, RTI offers policy analysis, applied research, customized technical assistance, and evaluation services. 

The telehealth policy landscape is changing and the RTI team is experienced in analyzing federal, state, and local policies and programs related to telehealth. We understand that regulatory and reimbursement concerns are among the most prevalent for telehealth and can conduct applied research throughout the telehealth lifecycle to inform implementation. Our team has experienced technical assistance providers who apply innovative approaches to support before, during and after telehealth. Evaluation and continuous improvement can help improve telehealth efforts.
