Telehealth Services in Region X and Beyond

Monday, August20,2018 
Posted by: Thomas Johnson 
​
In 2017, HRSA began requesting that health centers report on whether they offer telehealth kind of services are offered to patients. In this month's Data Points column, we will explore telehealth usage in Region X and beyond. 
The question was added to the Health Information Technology Form, which health centers report. HRSA defines telehealth as "the use of telecommunications and information technology and provide clinical care, education, public health, and administrative services at a distance technologies that fall under this definition include: 
  • Video Conferencing
  • Internet-Based Communication
  • Store-and-Forward Imaging
  • Streaming Media
  • and Terrestrial and Wireless Communications
53% of all Region X FQHC's reported offering telehealth services to patients.
Picture
​Nationally, only 39% of all health centers reported offering telehealth capabilities, meaning Region X are more likely to have telehealth services offered at their clinic than elsewhere.

​As you can see, Region X are leaders when it comes to telehealth technology. If your health center is doing something particularly innovative and you would like to share your experiences at one of our conferences, please reach out to us at [email protected].
