Southeast Idaho AHEC is pleased to share results from our telebehavioral health and virtual care research project. Southeast Idaho primary care and behavioral health providers told us what it was like to provide virtual care during the tumult and upheaval of the COVID 19 pandemic.

The purposes of this study were to:

  • characterize Southeast Idaho Healthcare primary care and behavioral health providers’ experiences with virtual care during the pandemic
  • generate policy- and practice-level recommendations regarding virtual care in this region that will address inequities in access to care
  • raise awareness of issues relevant to virtual care among community stakeholders who influence the implementation of this treatment modality in Southeast Idaho
