چکیده
A couple of years ago, Dr. Mason and myself, in collaboration with Home Based Primary Care and Care Coordination Home Telehealth Services at the Oklahoma City VA medical center began a journey to use technology to improve access to care for older Veterans living in rural Oklahoma. With funding from the VISN 16 Office of Telehealth and Office of Rural Health, we set out to evaluate the benefits of integrating VA Care Coordination Home Telehealth and Telemental Health within Home Based Primary Care. This pilot project allowed us to: 1) expand the current catchment area and enrollment of Home Based Primary Care; 2) provide state of the art healthcare to medically complex Veterans with mental illness whose distance from regular VA care made access a challenge; and 3) maximize the mental health of medically compromised individuals.
