Telehealth Sufficiency
 

Telehealth services offer a sufficient means of support for individuals utilizing the community living waiver due to several key advantages.

  • Telehealth provides accessible and convenient care, eliminating the need for individuals to travel to healthcare facilities, especially beneficial for those with mobility challenges.
  • Telehealth facilitates regular check-ins and monitoring, ensuring a proactive approach to health management and preventing potential issues.
  • Telehealth promotes inclusivity by overcoming geographical barriers, enabling individuals in remote or underserved areas to access necessary support.
  • Telehealth enhances efficiency in service delivery, reducing waiting times and optimizing resource utilization for both healthcare providers and recipients.
  • Telehealth fosters a sense of autonomy and independence, empowering individuals to actively engage in their healthcare from the comfort of their homes.

In Summary, telehealth services should remain in place as not only a sufficient way to provide services, but a crucial one.
