“The Department of Veterans Affairs continues to ramp up its use of telehealth. “It’s all about accessibility and reaching as many veterans as possible,” Ron Sandreth, operations manager for the community and rural health program at the VA hospital in Clarksburg, W. Va., tells the Charleston (W. Va.) Gazette.
Clarksburg currently offers remote services for dermatology, mental health, pathology, retinal exams and care coordination, and 95 percent of patients receiving telehealth from that hospital live in rural areas. Particularly for care coordination, the VA is increasingly turning to home monitoring.”
