About

This checklist provides a foundational framework to assist healthcare coalitions and other interagency groups to ensure that hospitals and clinics in their region have technological capabilities during an emergency. It outlines steps to integrate telehealth, such as identifying key leaders, specialist needs, and potential sites for services. It emphasizes planning by assessing technology needs and security threats while considering state limitations on telehealth. Implementation involves resource allocation and testing systems through drills. Monitoring includes evaluating exercises to ensure plans are followed during emergencies. Additional resources from organizations like WRAP-EM and the American Academy of Pediatrics provide further guidance on using telehealth effectively in pediatric care during disasters or emergencies.
