Increasing emergency medical access
We remain an international leader in evaluating telehealth effectiveness and other policy implications. In 2016-17 we continued with more than five large federally funded grants, including evaluations of pediatric tele-emergency, tele-NICU and newborn nursery, tele-audiology and tele-pediatric physiatry programs. All are designed to increase access to pediatric subspecialty services in rural, territorial, insular and/or tribal communities.
