NETRC 2021 - Manchester, NH

Telehealth Launchpad - Refueling for Sustainability

Symbian Health was a sponsor and exhibitor at the annual NETRC conference held on Sept 23rd and 24th in Manchester, New Hampshire. NETRC partners with MCD Public Health and University of Vermont to help implement telehealth programs which serve rural and medically underserved areas and populations throughout New England, New Jersey, and New York.

NETRC is one of 12 Regional Resource Centers and works closely with two National Centers – the Center for Connected Health Policy and the Telehealth Technology Assessment Center.

Symbian health, a telemedicine solutions provider partners with hospitals in rural and underserved areas to cover staffing shortages, was represented by Dr Sarah Suleman at the conference.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, speakers at this year’s conference talked about challenges during COVID faced by hospitals, nursing facilities and the healthcare community at large. Organizations and speakers shared their telehealth expertise and expansion of telehealth utilization and impact. We learnt about rapid implementation success stories and lessons learned, workforce training efforts, and strategic planning for tomorrow’s healthcare landscape, with telehealth and telemedicine services as a focal point.

At NETRC, Symbian Health had the opportunity to discuss our services and technology in this time of need particularly for underserved populations. It was a great opportunity to connect with partners in Telemedicine and meet with industry leaders to hear about experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic from an organization, provider and patient point of view.
