Improving the quality of healthcare, while increasing accessibility
and lowering costs, is a complex dilemma facing rural communities
around the world. The Center for Rural Pennsylvania believed that
telehealth, the use of electronic information and
telecommunications technologies to support long-distance clinical
healthcare was a viable solution so it recently provided grants to
conduct a thorough investigation into the factors involved.
Telehealth in Rural Hospitals: Lessons Learned from Pennsylvania
reports the outcome of this year-long investigation. Illustrating
telehealth implementations in rural settings, it supplies an
overview of telehealth as well as an assessment of its economic
impact. The book skillfully intertwines the research and academic
aspects of telehealth with helpful insights from the author. One of
the most important discoveries made by the author and her team of
researchers is that all too often money is wasted by implementing
telehealth for services that don't impact many people. This book
shares valuable insights on using telehealth for integrative health
practices that could improve the health of a greater portion of the
population. This book illustrates how telehealth can, indeed, be
the healthcare savior that some people believe it will be, but only
under the right circumstances. It details exactly what those
circumstances are so that everyone, including clinicians, patients,
government entities, and vendors, can steer toward the best future
path. The author identifies the obstacles preventing wider
implementation of telehealth and explains how recent federal
legislation will affect telehealth implementation in rural
communities. She also points out the folly of developing electronic
health records before federal data standards are put into place.
The book concludes by detailing best practices and lessons learned
for implementing a telehealth program in any state. It also
outlines helpful recommendations for health systems providing
healthcare services in rural communities.
