ABOUT US

Quality healthcare everywhere through telecommunications!

The TAO has adopted five Objectives as the “pillars” for guiding the organization’s initial services and action plan. They are to:

  • Improve access to high quality health care and other allied services through Telehealth and Telemedicine.
  • Promote collaborations that advance Telehealth and Telemedicine as a means for improving the delivery of affordable high quality health care.
  • Provide and promote education to facilitate the understanding of the possibilities and uses of Telehealth and Telemedicine.
  • Provide and support technical assistance to initiatives that advance programs of Telehealth and Telemedicine in Oregon.
  • Promote research that supports appropriate decision-making in the delivery of health care using technology and telecommunications.

Program efforts include but are not limited to:

  • Developing specific resources, including the acquisition of equipment and infrastructure, needed to provide a broad array of telehealth services to Oregonians;
  • Providing a vehicle for organizations and practitioners to aggregate demand for purchasing telecommunications services to gain the benefits of economies of scale necessary to make telehealth services affordable;
  • Providing technical and research assistance to aid organizations, agencies and providers in making decisions about their technology and telecommunications services needs and in planning to acquire these services;
  • Investigating and studying conditions and possibilities that will result in the removal of barriers to telehealth services providers in serving Oregonians;
  • Assembling and coordinating information relative to the status, scope, cost and possibilities of improving telehealth services in Oregon and reporting such information to the health care community, state policy makers, and the telecommunications services community;
  • Publishing, disseminating and distributing information and statistics acquired on the impacts of the improvements, or the lack thereof, of telehealth services in Oregon; and
  • Cooperating with health care providers, payers, telecommunications providers, planning agencies and policy makers for the purpose of promoting collaborations to improve access to and delivery of telehealth services.

Membership in TAO is open to anyone interested in supporting the purpose and goals of the organization. If you are a telehealth service provider, an organization interested in providing telehealth services, a supplier of equipment, software or transport for telehealth service, a healthcare insurance provider or someone interested in improving healthcare through telecommunications, we hope you will consider joining us.
