Abstract

Multidisciplinary care in the era of COVID mitigation presented a unique opportunity to evolve a multidisciplinary Telehealth experience at the Children's Hospital Colorado. We describe our experience in developing unique programming to remain in compliance with an experience as recommended by the Parameters of Care while integrating information technology accessible via the electronic health record, multimedia adjuncts, and the integration of multiple institutional participants in creating a platform to offer care via Telehealth. Visit structure, planning, implementation, and advantages and disadvantages of the programming are discussed.
