Center for Connected Health Policy. 2019. Tip sheet: Selecting a telehealth provider. Washington, DC: Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs, 4 pp. (Tip Sheet)

Annotation: This tip sheet for providers supporting parents or caregivers offers guidance on selecting appropriate telehealth providers, particularly for specialized services like pediatric psychiatry for children with autism. It emphasizes the importance of thorough provider vetting through licensing boards, health plan networks, and specific board guidelines for telehealth services. The document pays special attention to autism diagnosis via telehealth, comparing different assessment tools: the M-CHAT (Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers) and CARS (Childhood Autism Rating Scale) screenings are noted as being well-suited for telehealth delivery, while the ADOS-2 (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-Second Edition) diagnostic tool presents more challenges due to its interactive nature, requiring additional preparation and parent training to be administered remotely. Considerations for selecting providers-- e.g., technical setup quality and ability to maintain effective rapport with young patients-- are included.
