Telehealth Talk

People new to the world of Digital Health eventually come to ask the question “How Can Digital Health Help Me?” Well...today we’re going to share two ways Digital Health can help you. One...in the way of preventive care and monitoring. The other in a way that makes a difference during a time when every second counts.

Let’s talk about marketing. Specifically, let’s talk about marketing your digital health services.

In today’s episode, I was able to sit down with two digital health experts. Terri Imus, IDHI Clinical Director, Go Live Team, and Marzella Backus, Assistant Director of the IDHI Stroke program.

Together they were able to share ways and tips to promote your digital health services inside and outside your organization.

Bringing an infant home for the first time can be an extremely stressful time for new moms. Car seats, crib safety, and child-proofing your home can really take a lot out of new parents. Now add on top of that the potential stresses that mothers face with breastfeeding. All of this is a combination that leads many new mothers down at path to rely on formula.

I'm Brian Lee, one of the content creators for the south central Telehealth resource center and the UAMS Institute for Digital Health and Innovation. Welcome to Telehealth Talk.

I was able to have a conversation with Dr. Sarah Rhoads Professor at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center and Hannah McCoy Research Associate for the former UAMS Center for Distance Health, it’s now called the UAMS Institute for Digital Health and Innovation. Dr. Rhoads and Hannah are part of a team whose Telelaction study aimed to utilize technology to aid in breastfeeding education.

When we think about the current state of Telehealth and mHealth many questions come up. One of those questions is “How are we going to harness technology for the good of both patients and patient providers.”

That is a great question and also the topic of today’s episode, “The Future of Digital Health”

Launching a telehealth program can be a tricky process filled with discoveries, questions, and at times doubts. Things like…. is the specialty you’ve decided on the right choice for your area? Is there a patient need for this potential new service? Will your organization's leaders and administrators buy into your proposal? These are just a few of the questions you’ll ask yourself on your journey of building your telehealth program….And you’re bound to make some mistakes.

In today’s episode, we're discussing “Mistakes to Avoid When Building Your Telehealth Program”. Joining me, sharing their knowledge and expertise is Terri Imus RN, Director of Operations for Trauma Telemedicine at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Center for Distance Health, Kathy Wibberly Director of the Mid-Atlantic Telehealth Resource Center and Director of Research at the University of Virginia Center for Telehealth, and Amber Humphrey, Director for Telemedicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

In today’s episode, we will explore the origin story of Rosalyn Perkins, APRN Coordinator of the ICE Women and Infants Service Line and Director of Operations of the Center for Distance Health ANGELS Telemedicine Program. It’s a journey that takes us from a childhood injury that led to a career in nursing to being one of the key figures in the UAMS Center for Distance Health ANGELS program.
