[TAO] TAO Information Digest 9/24/15

[Catherine Britain]

Greetings,

It's been a month since our last digest.  I needed to take some time for a
family illness, and to complete the Law and Policy Review which will be
opening soon on the TAO website <http://www.ortelehealth.org>.  I am very
excited about the Law and Policy Review, as it will serve as a
comprehensive resource for information about telehealth law and policy
affecting Oregon.

We are also preparing to open the Beta version of the web portal that will
have the telemedicine services offered in Oregon from each of the provider
organizations.  It will take awhile to populate, but we will have the final
version open by the end of the year.

We are beginning to gear up for the Rural Health Conference October 28-30,
in Salishan.  TAO will have a booth there so if you are attending stop by
and see us and get a look at the Law and Policy Review and the web portal.
