The goals of the RTCEN network project emphasize health information
services, educational activities and health informatics applications
designed to improve access, efficiency, and quality of health care
information and services provided in targeted underserved rural
communities and strives to:
- promote health as a community asset particularly to rural and
medically underserved areas
- support community-based health and human service agency needs, while
minimizing gaps and redundancies in coverage
- provide and disseminate health and wellness information about best
practices
- develop information technology resources consistent with industry
standards
- complement and enhance other existing telehealth services
- partner with health care providers and systems to improve wellness
offerings
- leverage CMU faculty expertise and student involvement in the
community
- serve the best interests and on-demand needs of the public to
improve health self-efficacy
- accommodate various literacy levels and reflect appropriate
sensitivity to age, physical, and cultural considerations
The Rural Telehealth and Community Education Network is made possible
through a federal grant from the Office for the Advancement of
Telehealth which is a division of Health and Human Services. |
