HHS Resources Highlight Telehealth Access for Older Adults

A recent bulletin from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Office for the Advancement of Telehealth (OAT) highlights helpful resources for older adults and telehealth in recognition of September being Healthy Aging Month. Developed by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the resources include a best practice guide addressing telehealth accessibility for older patients, as well as a website focusing on telehealth considerations for older adults. Together this information showcases the value of telehealth especially in terms of managing health care needs from home, while also providing comprehensive patient and provider information on the use of telehealth specific to certain conditions and populations.
