UMTRC – Ohio SORH: The Two-factor Problem: Why the Midwest Isn’t Using Telehealth
9:00 am to 10:00 am PT • Hosted By Upper Midwest Telehealth Resource Center
Join UMTRC Program Director Luke Wortley in a presentation centered on the trends of telehealth adoption at the federal level during and after the public health emergency as well as regional data that shows the Midwest is the least likely census region to use telehealth.
Learning Objectives: – Discuss the multimodal factors that influence a patient and provider’s decision to not engage with telehealth services, including trust, digital literacy, cost, accessibility, and access. – Outline the current trends in terms of data at the national and state level in terms of broadband access, telehealth usage rates, and perception statistics. – Center this discussion on interdisciplinary understanding of multiple layers of identity that include racial and ethnic background, socioeconomic status, age, and geography.
