Telemedicine is rapidly becoming a standard of care in modern medicine. By increasing access and responsiveness to care, telemedicine can improve clinical outcomes, reduce costs, and increase provider, patient, and family satisfaction. Despite these potential benefits, the technology and the requisite changes that it brings are relatively new in the PA/LTC setting. Many health care providers and leaders have expressed the need to build their knowledge and skills to reap the full potential value of this innovation. This half-day workshop will build attendee’s knowledge and skills in the standards for telemedicine care in PA/LTC through engaging lectures, roundtable interactive examples of telemedicine from PA/LTC settings, and facilitated discussions. Learners will leave with practical skills that are needed to “get started,” to advanced skills such as making the financial case for telemedicine in their PA/LTC system, to ensure that their program has the care processes and technology to accomplish their goals.

Learning Objectives:
(1) Discuss the opportunities to use telemedicine to enhance PA/LTC.
(2) Identify technical and environmental considerations for high quality telemedicine in PA/LTC.
(3) Develop a strategy for establishing telemedicine services in their practice or medical group.
