Increase Internal Buy-In
We will interview key “influencers” within your organization, including administrators, key department chair/heads, board member(s). Our third-party perspective has proven invaluable in helping tease out and avoid potential pitfalls. We can help you increase internal buy-in and help address any misperceptions about telemedicine.
Build a Strategic Model
We’ll work with your team to determine areas that could be strengthened by adopting telehealth services. In collaboration with your planning team, we will aid in identifying service gaps and volume. We'll help you develop a strategic model that will support your organization as you build your program.
Build On Existing Telehealth Programs
Often organizations have previous experience with telehealth, but the program has stagnated or changed due to needs in the community. We’ll help you identify opportunities to reorganize your program and prioritize services.
Develop Telehealth Policies and Guidelines
We’ll help you outline procedures based on state and federal guidelines by
developing policies that will protect both you and your patients. This could also include billing and reimbursement processes based on the services you offer and you role as a telehealth site.
Determine Your IT and Operational Needs
Experts and technology partners consult with your IT staff to determine your technology and training needs. This review will include an analysis of the connectivity range available in the region and what bandwidth you’ll need, many of the organizations that we have helped have discovered that it’s not as much as previously thought.
