The Health Policy Institute of Ohio has released its latest policy brief: “Looking Ahead: Understanding Telehealth in Ohio” (pdf, 18 pages). The brief provides an introduction to telehealth and an overview of the national and state telehealth policy landscape. A 2-page executive summary also is available.
HPIO has focused attention on telehealth as a promising practice that has implications for health outcomes, access and cost. Specifically, telehealth cuts across two of HPIO’s strategic objectives – ensuring access to care for all Ohioans and aligning public and private payments with better health outcomes.
