[TAO] Communications regarding telehealth and COVID-19

[Catherine Britain]

Greetings,

I hope this finds you and your families safe and well. Thank you for  all
the hard work you are doing to provide support to your providers and care
for your patients, and it probably feels like you're trying to drink from a
fire hose when it comes to dealing with all the changing information
regarding telehealth and COVID-19 that is coming at you.

To help you manage the flow of information and to assure you get the most
accurate possible information TAO has decided to do two things:
First,TAO will continue to 'push' new information out to our members via
the listserv as soon as we receive it and can vet its accuracy and
authenticity.
Second, TAO is combining our efforts with the Oregon Office of Rural Health
to put this information on the ORH website so that both TAO and ORH members
can have access to it on an ongoing basis.  You can see all this
information at
https://www.ohsu.edu/oregon-office-of-rural-health/orh-covid-19-resources-rural-health.
Scroll down to the telemedicine link.

As of today, there are two new toolkits on the site that were created by
our partners at the Northwest Regional Telehealth Resource Center to help
answer the hundreds of questions that both groups have been receiving
regarding telehealth during the COVID pandemic:
- NRTRC COVID-19 and Telehealth Resources
<https://nrtrc.org/content/blog-post-files/NRTRC-Telehealth-and-COVID-19-Resources-3-23-2020.pdf>
a
comprehensive, easy to use guide incorporating the most pertinent resources
into one document.
- NRTRC Quick Start Guide to Telehealth
<https://nrtrc.org/content/blog-post-files/Telehealth-Quick-Start-Guide.pdf>
written
for use during the current public health emergency
Please do not hesitate to call or email me if you have questions that are
not answered in these resources.

Best of luck to you all and be well,
Cathy
