The Office for the Advancement of Telehealth (OAT) includes telehealth research impacting all nationally underserved areas. Thus, for RTRC to aptly reflect its broad research spectrum, a name change was pursued. Effective immediately, RTRC will be the acronym for the Remote care & Telehealth Research Center. The Center’s website has transferred from ruraltelehealth.org to telehealthresearch.org.
The Remote care & Telehealth Research Center is charged with advancing publicly available, high quality, impartial, clinically informed and policy-relevant telehealth research.
Rigorous research is needed to identify quality telehealth models that are affordable and sustainable. The goal of the Remote care & Telehealth Research Center is to conduct and disseminate research on telehealth that contributes to a maintaining or improving a high-performance system in America.
