Annotation: This videorecording documents a multi-state roundtable discussion on telehealth applications for individuals with hearing impairments, drawing participation from 31 states and territories. The presenters—McVicar (Utah), Stone (Massachusetts), Kirschner (Montana), Culpepper (Georgia), and Messersmith (South Dakota)—share diverse perspectives on teleaudiology implementation within Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) programs, including universal newborn screening initiatives. Their presentations highlight both successes and persistent challenges: while telehealth expands access to specialized audiological services, barriers remain including geographic isolation, transportation costs, equipment accessibility, parental hesitation to engage with public health systems, and technical limitations for certain procedures like cochlear implant testing. The interactive format allowed participants to pose questions directly to presenters, and concluded with the sharing of a comprehensive resource website to support ongoing telehealth advancement for hearing-impaired populations across diverse regional contexts.

Annotation: This March 24, 2022 recording features presentations from Dr. Karl White, Director of the National Center for Hearing Assessment and Management (NCHAM), and Dr. Jessica Messersmith, Professor of Communicative Sciences and Disorders at the University of South Dakota, examining post-COVID advancements in tele-audiology technology and implementation. White and colleague Hoffman outline NCHAM's comprehensive tele-audiology support systems, including planning tools, training programs, and technical assistance provided via Zoom, while Messersmith details specialized applications for pediatric diagnosis utilizing a hub-and-spoke service model where central facilities with specialized expertise support satellite locations staffed by technicians. The presentation covers practical considerations for site selection and setup, including necessary equipment and software specifications, while frankly addressing rural healthcare barriers in South Dakota such as poverty, geographic isolation, and workforce shortages of qualified audiologists. The recording concludes by highlighting available training resources for healthcare providers seeking to establish or expand tele-audiology services in underserved communities.

Annotation: This report from AMCHP discusses how Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) programs can develop diverse partnerships to improve health outcomes and address social determinants of health. It presents several case studies demonstrating successful collaboration strategies, including: Arkansas's partnership with African American fraternities (Brothers United) to promote safe sleep practices and reduce infant mortality disparities; Utah's adaptation of the national MotherToBaby program to provide pregnancy and breastfeeding information in rural areas; Mississippi's collaboration with faith-based organizations to provide dental services through a mobile unit; and South Dakota's Park Prescription initiative that partners with healthcare providers to promote physical activity in state parks. Each case study illustrates different partnership strategies: intentional collaboration with community partners, leveraging national initiatives for local impact, integrating programming within faith-based communities, and aligning efforts across government and health systems to address health disparities and improve access to care for underserved populations.
