Advancing the Use of Telehealth Through Education and Advocacy
- Bob Batterson, M.D., Moderator; Jay Shore, M.D., M.P.H.; Gregory Harris, M.D., M.P.H.; Kiki Kennedy, M.D.
Many psychiatrists have quickly transitioned to using telehealth and found it beneficial for certain patients. As states lift stay-at-home orders, and data shows COVID-19 continue to spread in some areas, the use of telehealth remains an important tool for patients to access mental health and substance use disorder treatment while keeping patients, clinicians, families, and communities safe through physical distancing. This APA webinar will focus on how to refine the use of telehealth to better serve your patients and highlight advocacy efforts at the federal and state levels to continue telehealth flexibilities.
