About the Northeast Telehealth Resource Center
The Northeast Telehealth Resource Center (www.NETRC.org), a project of Medical Care Development, Inc. (www.MCD.org), aims to increase access to quality health care services for rural and underserved populations through telehealth. NETRC is funded by the federal Office for the Advancement of Telehealth (DHHS/HRSA) to foster telehealth program implementation and optimization across New York and New England. NETRC is a proud member of the National Consortium of Telehealth Resource Centers (www.telehealthresourcecenter.org).
About Medical Care Development, Inc.
Medical Care Development, Inc. (www.MCD.org) is a global public health organization and national Public Health Institute that envisions a world in which all people have access to high quality solutions to improve and maintain their health and well-being. Many of MCD’s programs emphasize workforce development and quality improvement, such as the New York State Chronic Disease Prevention Online Training Portal (nytraining.mcdph.org).
The Reimagine New York Commission has identified expanding and improving telehealth as essential to build a more accessible, effective, and equitable healthcare system. Telehealth is not considered a "new" specialty or service, but another mechanism or tool to deliver standard care. As telehealth becomes a permanent part of practice, basic provider training is important to ensure quality of service.
