Perspectives on Telehealth Use with the Neonatal Population: Policy, Practice, and Implementation Considerations

Abstract

Telehealth has proven to be a valuable approach to providing care to the neonatal population, including supporting families during the transition to home, facilitating remote monitoring of fragile neonates, and connecting neonatal experts with infants and caregivers in underserved or remote communities. Clinicians engaging in telehealth need to be aware of policies and regulations that govern practice as well as the potential health equity issues that may present themselves.
