Telehealth Post-Pandemic: A Roadmap for the Coming Decade

项目摘要 COVID-19大流行需要迅速实施远程医疗，导致对以下问题的反思有限： 如何维持高质量的护理，以及需要什么永久性政策来继续提供这些服务。因此，我们认为， 这次会议的目标是召集一个智囊团，以发展和传播最佳实践 提供高质量的远程医疗保健和促进政策变革，支持公平获得 为所有美国人提供优质、安全和高效的医疗保健。该智库将汇集多学科 来自卫生系统、医生团体、研究人员、患者倡导者、技术 来自密歇根州的团体、保险公司和政策制定者。密歇根州是这次会议的理想场所，因为 种族、政治、文化、经济和地理多样性。因此，通过这一指导， 智库将能够在国内翻译。理由是，这次会议提供了一个及时的 这些团体有机会反思在大流行期间迅速转向提供远程保健， 制定最佳实践路线和后续步骤，以确保其可持续性。这有两个具体目标 智库：1）制定实践，政策和研究优先事项，以指导基于证据的指导方针， 提供远程保健服务，2）积极向全国受众分发这些优先事项。第一 目的是，智库将培养医疗服务提供者，卫生系统，政府，行业， 和从事远程医疗的研究人员。通过会前文献回顾，主要议题将是 将成立工作组，深入研究问题，记录差距， 实践对于第二个目标，该团队将利用与Connect America，Blue Cross Blue 盾牌，远程医疗和远程医疗杂志是传播智囊团的调查结果， 向全国观众推荐。该小组还将在国家会议上传播调查结果， 通过社交媒体，并在其网站上，以改善远程保健的使用，远程保健的获取， 护理的协调。会议的成果将包括一个文献综述，一个网站，包括博客 和播客，将在远程医疗和电子保健领域出版至少六种出版物，政策简报， 远程保健课程和在国家会议上的发言。这一贡献意义重大，因为 在这次智库会议上所做的工作将直接为决策者和实践领导者的决策提供信息， 改进远程保健解决方案，为所有患者提供更好的医疗服务。这将有有形的 对在全国持续实施远程保健的影响和指导。

Project Summary The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the rapid implementation of telehealth, leading to limited reflection on how to sustain quality care and what permanent policies are needed for continuing these services. Therefore, the objective of this proposed conference is to convene a Think Tank to develop and disseminate best practices for providing high-quality telehealth care and promoting policy changes that support equitable access to quality, safe, and efficient healthcare for all Americans. This Think Tank will assemble a multi-disciplinary group of decision leaders from health systems, physician groups, researchers, patient advocates, technology groups, insurers, and policymakers from Michigan. Michigan is an ideal setting for this conference because of its racial, political, cultural, economic, and geographic diversity. Thus, the guidance developed through this Think Tank will be able to be translated nationally. The rationale is that this conference provides a timely opportunity for these groups to reflect on the quick shift to providing telehealth during the pandemic and chart a course for best practices and next steps to ensure its sustainability. There are two specific aims for this Think Tank: 1) Develop practice, policy, and research priorities to guide evidence-based guidelines for providing telehealth services, and 2) Actively distribute these priorities to a national audience. For the first aim, Think Tank will cultivate connections among healthcare providers, health systems, government, industry, and researchers engaged in telehealth. Through a pre-conference literature review, key topics will be developed, and workgroups will be formed to delve into the issues and document gaps and evidence-based practices. For the second aim, the team will leverage partnerships with Connect America, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and the Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare to disseminate Think Tank findings and recommendations to a national audience. The team will also disseminate findings at national conferences, through social media, and on its website to improve the use of telehealth, telehealth access, and the equitable coordination of care. The conference deliverables will include a literature review, a website including blogs and podcasts, at least six publications to be published in Telemedicine and e-Health, policy briefs, an updated telehealth curriculum, and presentations at national meetings. This contribution is significant because the work done at this Think Tank conference will directly inform policymakers’ and practice leaders’ decisions for improving telehealth solutions to provide better access and healthcare to all patients. This will have tangible impacts on and guidance for the sustained implementation of telehealth nationally.
