Telehealth means using electronic communication and telecommunications to support long-distance clinical health care, patient and professional education, public health and health administration.
WIC SAs can access telehealth support via the Telehealth Resource Centers.
The National Consortium of Telehealth Resource Centers helps telehealth programs in their start-up, expansion, and sustaining phases. The 12 regional and 2 national TRCs are expertly staffed and lead the advancement and accessibility of telehealth with a focus in rural healthcare.
As a consortium, the TRCs are committed to helping health systems, organizations, practices, providers, state agencies, policymakers, and others overcome barriers, advance telehealth education, and provide practical resources for implementation. THIS-WIC strongly encourages applicants to reach out to their regional TRC for advice and possible collaborative opportunities in the development of the application.
