Telehealth: Interprofessional Team-Based Care

How can you leverage your own telehealth skills to work with other health professionals as a team? What does your interprofessional health team need to provide your patients with efficient and effective virtual care? In this short course, we’ll build on telehealth essentials to discuss the basics of collaborating with others to form interprofessional telehealth teams. We’ll start by discussing the basics of team-based telehealth and how implementing these visits can benefit you and your patients. You’ll explore an example team-based visit and hear from providers who are implementing interprofessional telehealth models. By the end of the course, you’ll learn about necessary skills your team needs to develop: a team workflow, communication, and leveraging team members’ individual strengths. Learn how telehealth teams can solve issues related to limited physical clinic space and break down patient barriers to care. No matter what speciality or stage you’re at in your healthcare professional journey, this course will help you develop practical skills to be applied to your practice. No previous telehealth or specific technology experience is required.
