Academic Medicine Open Forum

There's no question that the coronavirus pandemic has shifted the way we work. As we reassess what health care looks like in a world living with COVID-19, it is crucial that we understand how telehealth impacts medical education and training, the delivery system and its workforce, and patients' access to care.

So for this Question of the Week, we want to know:

• What has been your experience as a provider shifting to telehealth care? What has been working (or maybe not) that is worth sharing with your peers here in the community network?
• Or, if you're not working in the clinical environment, have you had an experience with a telehealth provider that was surprising, interesting, or worth sharing? We'd love to hear about it.

ICYMI, here are additional resources related to telehealth innovations that:

• Highlight how the AAMC and its member institutions are implementing and using telehealth to provide high-quality care and improve access; 
• Provide regulatory support for telehealth at health care institutions, including education about recent updates; 
• Share learnings across academic medicine about telehealth implementation and training; and
• Uncover insights from research and other literature about the impact of telehealth on access and workforce.

New report available! Access "Sustaining Telehealth Success: Integration Imperatives and Best Practices for Advancing Telehealth in Academic Health Systems" via the AAMC Store now.

As telehealth has become an even more widely accepted mode of delivering care, academic medical centers (AMCs) are examining how telehealth can advance their strategic goals. AMCs must learn how to integrate telehealth capabilities into their everyday clinical care and operations.  

This report from the AAMC's Future of Academic Medicine Series will help health system leaders and telehealth managers to critically assess, design, implement, and integrate telehealth programs across mission areas. It presents effective strategies and successful practices from leaders at 15 AMCs that have leading telehealth programs.
