Building on the recent work of its Telehealth Initiative collaboration with the Texas Medical Association and others, the American Medical Association is offering physicians more guidance on how to create a telehealth foundation in their practice.
AMA’s Telehealth Immersion Program will feature interactive peer-to-peer learning sessions, webinars, on-demand resources, and virtual discussions and boot camps. AMA says the program will offer “foundational information surrounding the telehealth landscape and offer deep dives into aspects of telehealth” that include:
- Clinical best practices;
- Integration with other health care technologies;
- How to scale and sustain telehealth in your practice; and
- Opportunities to expand virtual care.
The program also explores the challenges related to telehealth, including technology access and digital literacy. AMA says the program will allow participants to create a comprehensive plan to implement or scale telehealth, including planning for sustainability beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.
