could be a video training...

I think it's a great idea.

Some districts also partnered with the internet providers to offer discounts

I believe there is an initiative at the Governor's level to use COVID funds to increase access. An activity might be to identify the resources available to help families get access to equipment and internet

Both

Great point- both!

We are also talking about a provider being in a SBWC and the student being in another SBWC (offering Coverage when a MH provider is absent/leaves, etc.)

Sounds like we need to identify the time line for changes related to use of telehealth

doxy.me has two versions- one that is free and one that requires subscription

Could you clarify the funding for telehealth changes: are we talking changes in funding/reimbursement for telehealth via video or just changes in reimbursement for telephonic services?

I have another meeting. Thank you everyone! Happy Spring Break!

I agree

costs for telehealth licenses? not my area at all but just thinking

there are definitely costs for EHRs and also training needs for providers to learn how to use the EHR

Need to step away

is there telehealth hesitancy? how do we address if this is an issue

I like that!

Sorry all- I need to hop off to another meeting. Have a great weekend!

I'm so sorry! I need to jump to another meeting. Have a great weekend!
