The CDC Clinician Outreach and Communication Activity (COCA)* presents...”The Role of Telehealth in Expanding Access to Healthcare During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Considerations for Vaccine Uptake & Monitoring for Adverse Events”
During this COCA call, presenters will discuss the role of telehealth in increasing access to healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic and how telehealth can augment COVID-19 vaccine planning in healthcare facilities. Presenters will provide a summary of a recent series of discussions with the telemedicine community. Presenters will also share their experiences using telehealth tools for triaging and navigating patients, reaching low access communities, managing infectious and chronic illnesses, disseminating COVID-19 vaccine information, and monitoring for COVID-19 vaccine adverse events.
At the conclusion of the session, the participant will be able to accomplish the following:
- Discuss CDC’s telehealth guidance and considerations for vaccine planning.
- Summarize recent discussions with national telehealth providers.
- Cite current CDC vaccine resources (e.g., V-safe, COVID-19 Vaccine Confidence Consults) and how healthcare facilities can integrate them into existing telehealth services.
