Hi All, Have you thought about extending videoconferencing services at your library for people wanting to make telehealth appointments? The NNLM (Network of the National Library of Medicine) is offering a free 4-week course on how to develop telehealth services at your library: The Network of National Library of Medicine is excited to announce our upcoming class Telehealth 101: What Libraries Need to Know starting on June 12th Libraries in locations across the United States are beginning to offer their patrons access to telehealth services as a strategy for addressing inequities in digital access to healthcare. This class introduces telehealth, why it's important, and how it enables people to have greater access to quality healthcare. Explore how different libraries provided patrons in their communities with access to telehealth services. This class will address privacy and ethical concerns, and review the technology and infrastructure needed to launch a successful telehealth program in your library. Course Objectives: 1. Recognize the different approaches/models to providing telehealth access within libraries. 2. Discuss considerations such as privacy and policy for offering telehealth access within libraries. 3. Identify infrastructure-related resources available to the library for providing telehealth services. 4. Describe the role of the library in support of digital skills training for telehealth.
