Telehealth technology showcased across the state
The Tennessee Primary Care Association and Community Health Network are teaming up with UnitedHealth Group/ AmeriChoice to showcase telehealth technology across the state. AmeriChoice has a mobile telehealth unit that they will be bringing to three sites in Tennessee and demonstrating the technology. State Commissioners, local officials, state and federal elected officials have all been invited in addition to the media.
At the same time, the three organizations have joined forces to improve access to integrated primary care and behavioral health care as well as specialty care throughout the state. They have partnered to promote access to community based care in rural areas, build a network of behavioral health care specialists, increase access to specialty care, research funding opportunities for integrated care, and provide training to community health center staff. The Association is very excited about this partnership and is looking forward to working with AmeriChoice, starting with the arrival of the mobile unit.
