LeadingAge’s Center for Aging Services Technologies (CAST) recently released 2 new resources designed to help long-term and post-acute care (LTPAC) organizations identify and select telehealth products:

• An online Telehealth and Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) Selection Tool
• A set of 6 case studies, Telehealth and RPM: Provider Case Studies 2013

These 2 resources released complete CAST’s new telehealth portfolio, which also includes:

• Whitepaper, “Telehealth and Remote Patient Monitoring for Long-Term and Post-Acute Care”
• Telehealth and RPM Selection Matrix

“Telehealth is an important enabler of innovative future-ready business models,” said Larry Minnix, president and CEO of LeadingAge. “The case studies and the online selection tool will be invaluable to providers who are considering embarking on telehealth to reduce hospital readmissions or other health reform related initiatives.

CAST is planning to update this portfolio in 2014 and is currently seeking additional vendors to participate in next year’s edition of the Selection Matrix, online Selection Tool, and case studies.
