Description
The objective of this study is to increase APEC members’ understanding of the existing policy and regulatory landscape that support telehealth delivery, while highlighting best practices that can be adopted and replicated throughout the region. The analysis considers both a pre-COVID-19 context as well as policy changes implemented in direct response to healthcare requirements during the pandemic. This project also explores ways of implementing the recommendations of the study referenced above. Project outputs will involve a series of information sharing and capacity building activities to further increase members’ understanding of policy responses for the effective utilization of telehealth solutions.
