Over 61 million people live in rural towns across the United States. These communities are characterized by their remoteness and low population density, with less than 500 individuals per square mile and a lack of proximity to nearby cities. It’s a unique challenge to implement telehealth in these rural areas.

Rural residents often have less access to quality care than those who live in heavily populated areas. Telehealth changes that scenario.

Many Californians used telehealth services for the first time during the COVID-19 pandemic. The rapid rise in telehealth during the pandemic was made possible, in part, by emergency actions that loosened regulations related to telehealth care. Unfortunately, California’s emergency actions have since expired. The state’s antiquated licensing laws and regulations prevent patients from accessing needed health care.

By removing regulatory obstacles, more Californians can access the vital health care services they need.

Our History

Over the past decades, an interest in telehealth led many to develop telehealth programs. With little guidance, many programs looked to already established telehealth programs for resources and support. The initial successes from the telehealth network grant program coming out of HRSA’s Office for the Advancement of Telehealth (OAT) recognized later down the line that many programs could not sustain telehealth. As the telehealth community continued to grow, it gave way to some of the first Telehealth Resource Centers (TRCs) in 2006. The small group of TRCs’ purpose were to expedite the provision of telehealth technical assistance in rural communities. Telehealth continued to garner momentum, appealing to the expansion of TRCs nationally. The TRCs have gathered experts in policy uses, technology evaluation, operational implementation, technical assistance, and much more. In 2017, the regional TRCs came to work collaboratively as the National Consortium of Telehealth Resource Centers (NCTRC). Together as a consortium, TRCs have accumulated an unparalleled amount of resources to advance telehealth programs both regionally and nationally. Either within their own autonomy or in working collaboratively, each TRC is staffed with experts to provide guidance for telehealth programs. As telehealth continues to gain more visibility and recognition, the TRCs will remain poised to provide all health systems with guidance.
