Discussion Question Week 4
Aims and Objectives
To evaluate the outcome of a grant opportunity for telehealth projects
Background
More than 30 telehealth projects in locations from West Virginia to Guam are receiving funding through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Distance Learning and Telemedicine (DLT) program. Of the 65 grants awarded across 34 states, totaling more than $20 million, 31 grants valued at $8.6 million were telehealth-related, with the rest going to educational services. An example of a typical grant is an almost $500,000 award that will enable the university to equip telemedicine carts with videoconferencing and cloud-based image sharing in more than 70 rural healthcare facilities in 46 counties.
Please respond to the following questions:
How would you use the $500,000 to enhance access to rural areas using telehealth?
What specific steps would you take to ensure the success of the project?
