Tele-audiology has rapidly expanded as a strategy to improve access to hearing healthcare, particularly for patients in rural or underserved areas. This course provides an overview of tele-audiology service within a healthcare system. Topics include: examples of synchronous and asynchronous tele-audiology services, required equipment and space considerations, and strategies for integrating virtual care into existing clinical workflows. In addition, barriers to implementation, including licensure, reimbursement, and privacy considerations are covered. Participants will gain practical knowledge on evaluating how tele-audiology may enhance patient access, clinical efficiency, and care delivery within their own organizations. This course is presented in partnership with the Academy of VA Audiologists.
