Complimentary Webinars
CHQI one-hour webinars bring together recognized experts for virtual sessions on a variety of telemedicine-related topics. All webinars will take place from 1 – 2 p.m. EDT.
- (May 15, 2018) Quality Matters: Telemedicine Accreditation as a Catalyst for Improving Clinical, Operational, and Patient Outcomes – The CHQI Telemedicine Accreditation Program (TAP) offers a comprehensive framework for evaluating the safety, efficacy, and quality of telemedicine services and programs. In this webinar, CHQI Telemedicine Standards Committee Members will 1) discuss the best practices and use cases that informed the work of the Committee; 2) explain their commitment to develop the next generation of outcomes-focused standards with CHQI; and 3) emphasize the importance for accrediting agencies to begin “turning the corner” on validating so many structure and process measures, and instead focus on true measures of quality.
- (June 13, 2018) Accreditation: Developing a Blueprint for the Future Assessment and Evaluation of Telemedicine Quality – Panelists will examine the need for outcomes-based measures that focus on patient health, the balance between being overly prescriptive and asking for the right information from all providers, and the importance of using outcomes data to shape public policy and standardize quality practices on a national level.
- (July 18, 2018) Utilizing Telemedicine in the War on Opioid Abuse – The panel will explore the need to coordinate intervention and treatment efforts at all levels, describe many of the existing and emerging treatments available to providers and patients, and discuss how telemedicine can be used to scale critical resources for those in the greatest need.
