Abstract: The Telehealth Network Grant Program is authorized by Section 330I of the Public Health Service Act. The Health Care Safety Net Amendments of 2002 (Public Law 107-251) amended the Public Health Service Act by adding Section 330I. Under this authority, recipients are utilizing their established telehealth networks to expand access to priority clinical services in rural areas, particularly, rural schools. The data collected with the performance measurement tool provides HRSA’s OAT with information about outcome measures, including the effectiveness of service programs, and monitor their progress through the use of performance reporting data.
