Key Activities:

High Priority and Disruptively Innovative

Identify an existing mobile app already approved by Ryan White that can be used for telehealth appointments.
Identify and recruit local doctors and nurses/clinics who can participate in telehealth.
Create a survey to gauge how people (doctors, nurses, clinics, and patients) feel about using telehealth (challenges, benefits, future extension, etc.).
Research the use of expanded telehealth services beyond medical appointments (nutrition, mental health, etc.).
Secure telehealth locations with trusted agencies throughout Memphis to accommodate patients who do not have access to equipment to participate in telehealth services.
Continue to offer telehealth services post-COVID; reduce restrictions, making it more accessible to facilitate continued adherence.
