Telehealth Services
“Telehealth Services” is an integrated collection of technologies, systems, and trained staff that enable health care providers to connect with patients, or groups of patients, through live and interactive video conferencing or “store and forward” (asynchronous) platforms using broadband network access.
Our goals for this service is to:
- Expand access to telehealth specialty services for CRIHB member Tribal Health Program clients and eConsult services for clinicians;
- Improve health status and well-being in Tribal Health Program clients;
- Enhance overall patient experience, particularly through culturally sensitive and competent skills of our telehealth specialists;
- Offer either matching or lower cost services, as compared to academic or for-profit telehealth service providers, through: 1) direct contracting with independent telehealth specialists, 2) bundling of telehealth demand across CRIHB member programs for price negotiations, and absorbing overhead and administrative costs by CRIHB.
