The Role of Telehealth in COVID-19 Response

Dr. Linder, the subcontract-PI, and Dr. Persell, subcontract Co-I, will work with the overall study investigators and staff at Teladoc to characterize the standard of care for acute respiratory infections in a telehealth environment; design, build, pilot test, implement, and evaluate interventions based on the behavioral principles of social norms and public commitment in a randomized controlled trial; and assess the mechanisms of success or failure of the intervention. Throughout the project, Drs. Linder and Persell will work with the overall project team to disseminate the results from this project. We will be providing Teladoc user expertise and front-line experience with COVID patient care.
