- -National Institutes of HealthBackground About one-fifth of all people in the United States live in rural areas. Health disparities continue to be a pressing issue for rural communities, where there are increased mortality rates, a higher prevalence of diseases, and lower life expectancy than in urban areas. While the underlying causes of such disparities are complex, social determinants of health (e.g., access to care
- July 14, 2021Emergency departments across the United States experienced a surge in opioid overdose cases during the pandemic. Now, a program at VCU Health aims to help those patients receive the treatment they need after they leave the emergency department. The new VCU Health Virtual Bridge Clinic creates a direct link between the emergency department and treatment programs for patients with opioid use
Telehealth is an emerging field. Prior to the pandemic, telehealth was shown in several chronic conditions to improve access, reduce hospitalization rates, and have lower costs to the patient than traditional in person visits. These interventions are adaptable and have the potential to impact healthcare in communities which are medically underserved and under-resourced. Telehealth has also been shown to reduce health disparities among African Americans, improve screenings of chronic conditions and improve access to mental health care in rural areas. During the COVID-19 pandemic there has been

Telehealth plays an important role in the Clinical Implementation and Public Health stages of the Translational Science Spectrum. Understanding the barriers and limitations of telehealth will inform development of new technology and models that expand access and improve the quality of care. The impact of this un-meeting is to use the results to make immediate changes to how telehealth visits are conducted for clinical care, to develop new strategies to removing barriers to telehealth in underserved populations and to advance multidisciplinary initiatives regarding research with telehealth.
- January 27, 2021As the pandemic brings potentially lasting change to every corner of society, Virginia Commonwealth University researchers are working to capture data around one of the most ubiquitous changes to emerge from the health care world. Telehealth — where doctors and patients are distant from one another, connected through digital means — can mean anything from a brief phone call to an urgent video
