The SCTRC has just been refunded to continue providing our excellent telehealth educational materials, resources, and hands-on training!
As a part of the HRSA Telehealth Resource Center Program, that supports regional and national telehealth resource centers, the South Central Telehealth Resource Center has received a $1.3 million, four-year grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to implement and expand digital health services.
The grant will award $325,000 in funding each year through 2029 and will support our ongoing efforts to develop, maintain and expand digital health services and training for health care providers across Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee.
“This continued support from HRSA affirms the value of our mission and the real-world impact of digital health when providers are equipped with the right tools and knowledge. We’re honored to continue serving our region and look forward to the innovation and collaboration this next phase will bring.”
The South Central Telehealth Resource Center provides technical assistance, workforce training and evidence-based resources to equip health care organizations, providers and stakeholders with the knowledge and tools they need to implement and expand digital health services. Support is primarily offered on-demand through the center’s website, LearnTelehealth.org, and through individualized assistance. We also creates patient-focused materials to facilitate digital health consults, remote patient monitoring and in-home device use to ensure accessibility and engagement in virtual care. Among our resources are virtual visit billing and reimbursement guides, regional policy updates, educational modules, webinars, and so much more!
The SCTRC has been continuously funded by the HRSA Office for Advancement of Telehealth since 2010 and is one of 12 centers in the HRSA-backed National Consortium of Telehealth Resource Centers. We works collaboratively with other centers, along with UAMS, HRSA and other national and regional partners, and maintains five satellite training centers in Arkansas and Tennessee.
