The COVID-19 pandemic has generated an immediate need for telehealth services to prevent further interruptions in the delivery of health care. We have extended the traditional standard of telehealth to include prevention and support services for those at greatest risk of HIV acquisition and for PLWHA. This service expansion is known as Telecare.
This webinar will showcase successful Telecare programs, implementation, privacy/confidentiality standards and technical assistance tips. It will also provide practical strategies including screening, education, and referral in statewide public health clinics and partner services to increase access to HIV prevention and care services for individuals who cannot access a provider in their local area. Speakers will discuss innovative practices and lessons learned when implementing a Telecare program.
