The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the critical need for health centers to harness information technology and telehealth modalities in order to meet the needs of communities regardless of geographic location, transportation resources, or other factors influencing the ability to deliver care in person. Virtual services are critical for populations experiencing disproportionate adverse social determinants of health that impede access to in-person care, including people living in remote rural settings, or transgender and gender-diverse communities. Health centers have had to adapt and innovate rapidly in order to provide continuity of high-quality servicing using telehealth modalities. In many ways, policy changes regarding delivery of telehealth services within and across state lines will continue to determine the extent to which health centers will be able to responsively serve all marginalized patients and communities in the U.S.
Learning Objectives

- Explain policy considerations that influence the ability of health centers to deliver high-quality services remotely to all patients and communities they have the potential to serve.
- Apply strategies for health centers to continue to incorporate emerging telehealth models and adapt to the shifting policy landscape regarding telehealth.
