The schools are using a five-year HHS grant totaling $1.75 million to support the initiative.
They plan to use internet and cellular connections to increase access while identifying barriers and facilitators to telehealth services in the Beaufort, Bertie, Hertford, Duplin, Martin, Northampton and Pasquotank counties.
The schools also will work with community health centers and programs to provide the telehealth services, which are projected to include acute and chronic primary medical care, dental evaluations and referrals, behavioral health, nutrition and pharmacy counseling and chronic disease management.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
