Rural Tele-Palliative Care and Tele-Hospice

This telehealth webinar was the third of a six-part series for Flex Fiscal Year 2021 and focused on rural telehealth topics to build state Flex Program knowledge and understanding of the use of telehealth for the provision of palliative care and hospice services.

Following this webinar, participants were able to:

• Recognize how palliative care and hospice are provided via telehealth
• Understand the opportunities and barriers for critical access hospitals to provide palliative and hospice care
• Recall examples of rural models of tele-palliative care and tele-hospice
• Describe how Flex Programs can support tele-palliative care and tele-hospice initiatives

This event was supported by the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) and coordinated by the Technical Assistance & Services Center (TASC), a program of the National Rural Health Resource Center (The Center).
