Telehealth Success Story
The annual UETN Tech Summit was held on June 23-24, and the Telehealth Services team arranged a number of sessions for administrative and IT directors from rural hospitals and clinics.

The sessions included topics on HIPAA compliance and regulations, school-based telehealth, digital health and the VisuWell platform, mobile device management, and cybersecurity best practices.

We also held our bimonthly Technical Subcommittee meeting at the end of the second day and hosted a 1.5-hour security workshop for those in attendance.

Overall, attendees felt like the Tech Summit was a success and they learned valuable insights to improve their job skills. We look forward to expanding the healthcare & telehealth track next year and including even more sessions for our healthcare partners.

Thank you to those who were able to attend this year!
