Development of Telehealth Principles and Guidelines for Older Adults

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society: Development of Telehealth Principles and Guidelines for Older Adults

Members of the Collaborative for Telehealth and Aging released a set of principles and guidelines for providing telehealth to older patients last year. The three principles offer general rules to guide behavior, while the guidelines provide specificity for each principle, with individual goals that programs and providers should aim to achieve. As a next step, members of the Collaborative for Telehealth and Aging are working to create implementation strategies focused on how to operationalize the current recommendations.
