Using Telehealth to Bridge the Digital Divide and Provide Health Equity

Join the HIMSS New England Chapter on July 27 at 11:00 am ET to learn how one organization used their policy and advocacy work to gain recognition of broadband access as a social determinant of health. Organizations see telehealth as a method to drive patient access and equity. With more healthcare taking place over the internet, vulnerable communities with limited broadband services can find themselves cut off from telehealth. This discussion will address health equity and how one healthcare organization used their policy and advocacy work to gain recognition of broadband access as a social determinant of health and on solutions that meet this basic need for all.
