Preface In 2015, the Medical Alumni Volunteer Expert Network (MAVEN) Project began offering telehealth visits at three community health centers in Massachusetts and California. The goal of the multisite pilot was to develop and test methods for using physician volunteers to increase access to care via telehealth. In 2016, the California Health Care Foundation funded a RAND Corporation project to conduct a preliminary assessment of the pilot and generate recommendations to support quality improvement efforts. This report describes the evolution of the pilot. It also summarizes feedback regarding the strengths and limitations of the program and presents a set of recommendations for MAVEN Project administrators. This report will be of interest to physician volunteers and community health centers currently implementing or considering participating in the MAVEN Project. It will also be of interest to health care organizations and clinical practitioners who are implementing telehealth programs aimed at the underserved. |
