Expanding access to quality care through connected health is a critical element and part of the effort toward reducing health disparities and addressing social determinants of health.

As COVID-19 continues to wreak havoc across the globe, telehealth has rapidly emerged as an essential solution for health care delivery amidst the pandemic.

Social isolation is not a new battle facing our nation, but the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the severity of its consequences for our senior population.

Across the country, telehealth solutions are helping to close gaps in care in areas where healthcare consumers would otherwise face considerable challenges.

In these unprecedented times, we’re presented with a unique opportunity to leverage technology and telehealth solutions to fill the gaps that have been created by physical distancing measures, and help older adults combat the negative health effects of loneliness.

As the need for social distancing continues and people are increasingly encouraged to stay at home whenever possible, Home and Community-Based Service providers (HCBS) are introducing new telehealth resources to give their high-risk and vulnerable older adult populations desperately needed care and support.

At Connect America, we enjoy the honor of working side-by-side with FQHCs and other healthcare organizations, helping them navigate challenges and implement integrated, comprehensive RPM programs.
