July 2025 Telehealth Tuesday Roundup:

Rural Innovation, Training Strategy & Hybrid Prenatal Care

The irony of our hyper-connected workdays: the more information we process, the easier it becomes to miss what truly matters.

That's exactly why I created Telehealth Tuesday in 2019 — to cut through the newsletter noise with practical takeaways, fresh perspectives, and ideas you can actually apply.

If you missed any from the past month, here's your chance to catch up with four quick reads that just might speak to what's top of mind for you.

1. Scaling Rural Telebehavioral Health: Five Interventions That Actually Work — Scaling telebehavioral health in rural communities takes more than technology—it requires deliberate strategies that support both clinicians and patients. This article explores key interventions that help rural behavioral health programs move from sporadic use of telehealth to sustainable, integrated care.

2. Standardizing Telehealth Training — Standardizing telehealth training starts by standardizing your telehealth delivery model. This article outlines how organizations can build durable, role-specific training by first aligning their strategy, policy, and workflows—then layering on a modular framework for effective education across all roles.

3. A Systems Approach to Solving Rural America's Healthcare Crisis — Telehealth can transform rural healthcare when implemented as a comprehensive, community-centered system. This article outlines how rural providers can use telehealth to improve access, retain staff, and keep local hospitals operational while meeting evolving patient needs.

4. Overcoming 7 Common Barriers to Telehealth Adoption — Drawing from 15+ years of implementation experience, this article explores the most common barriers to telehealth adoption and shares real-world strategies to build more equitable, sustainable, and human-centered virtual care systems.

5. Telehealth’s Role in Tailoring Prenatal Care — ACOG has endorsed hybrid prenatal care models that integrate telehealth and remote monitoring, moving beyond the one-size-fits-all approach first developed in the 1930s. This article explores how connected care can help address maternal health deserts — if it's designed with equity, integration, and clinical rigor.
