The Telehealth Initiative
The Physicians Foundation, American Medical Association, Florida Medical Association, Massachusetts Medical Society and Texas Medical Association launched The Telehealth Initiative to help physicians implement telehealth services.
The program helped 168 participating physicians from 24 practices redesign their practices to successfully provide telehealth services to their patients during COVID-19 and beyond.
Following the completion of the program, the Initiative is providing free, online access to resources that participating physicians used to encourage other physicians to consider telehealth services.
