Telehealth Equity: Is the “Solution” for Addressing Inequities in Health Quality and Access Now Exacerbating those Same Issues? As telehealth and healthcare become synonymous, some have been raising red flags. Is what has historically been touted as one of the solutions for addressing disparities in access to quality care turning into a potential driver of such disparities? Some would say that telehealth is built on the existing infrastructures of healthcare and technology, and thus concerns with telehealth equity are simply reflections of larger systemic issues. Others would say that telehealth enables us to move beyond the existing healthcare infrastructure; thus creating opportunities for more equitable access to quality care. Join us at #MATRC2023 as we examine the technology, policy and operational best practices and lessons learned that contribute to making telehealth either a facilitator, enabler or barrier for different populations. (CEs available for select sessions throughout the Summit – see schedule for more details. Three tracks available for Summit attendees – General, Behavioral/Mental Health and Leading Transformation. Attendees may attend sessions across the three tracks).
