<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Greetings,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The Telehealth Alliance of Oregon (TAO) is entering its 15<sup>th</sup>
year as the non-profit organization that brings those interested in telehealth
and virtual care the best and most up-to-date information on telehealth policy,
clinical applications and technology solutions.
The Alliance is the policy convener and advocate for many telehealth
policies and legislation developed in Oregon and at the national level. We work to keep you informed through an
annual conference, our website, presentations for other healthcare
organizations and individual conversations with you about knowledge you need,
issues you may be having, or requests for networking with others who are
involved in similar telehealth endeavors.
When we don’t have the information you are requesting we work to find
someone who does and direct your request to them. TAO has a strong network of resource
centers, associations, technology vendors and legal experts to assist us. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">TAO does this with a very modest budget that is mostly
dependent on membership dues and with no paid staff. However, telehealth and virtual care are
growing exponentially, and we want to continue to provide you with the
resources you need in this expanding environment. In order to do that the TAO Board of
Directors decided that we needed to hear from you about what TAO can best do
for you as we all step forward into this new era of healthcare. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">To do that we have developed a brief survey (less than 5
minutes) to gather some information that will be useful in our strategic
planning. But the information will only
useful if you participate. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Please go to the following link and complete this brief
survey by October 25th so that we can continue to provide you with the best
service possible. </p>
