Course Overview

This advanced training course provides a practical framework for planning, launching, and managing telehealth and virtual care as an organized service line across hospitals, health clusters, private provider groups, and national health networks. It focuses on the administrative, regulatory, operational, and financial decisions that determine whether virtual services are accessible, well governed, and sustainable. Participants will examine how to select the right service model, including teleconsultation, tele-ICU support, remote patient monitoring, and virtual wards, and how to match each model to population need, specialty, workforce capacity, and infrastructure. The program covers governance structures, practitioner licensing and credentialing, consent, privacy, and liability arrangements for services delivered at a distance. The course also addresses workflow and staffing design, platform and continuity requirements, reimbursement and contracting, and performance measurement, while treating electronic medical record implementation as an existing foundation rather than a course topic. Through case studies, service design exercises, financial modeling, and dashboard workshops, participants develop the capability to build, evaluate, and scale a virtual care program aligned with national health priorities and organizational strategy.

Learning Objectives

  • Develop a structured approach to managing virtual care as a service line.
  • Assess population need, service demand, and organizational readiness for telehealth delivery.
  • Evaluate virtual care models, including teleconsultation, tele-ICU, remote monitoring, and virtual wards.
  • Establish governance structures and accountability for virtual services across networks.
  • Apply licensing, credentialing, and privileging requirements to practitioners who deliver services remotely.
