The primary objective of the Telehealth Network Grant Program (TNGP)is to demonstrate how telehealth programs and networks can improve access to quality health care services in underserved rural and urban communities. The telehealth network grant awards are to support telehealth networks that demomstrate how these networks can be used to: (a) expand access to, coordinate, and improve the quality of health care services; (b) improve and expand the training of health care providers; and/or (c) expand and improve the qaulity of health information available to health care providers, patients, and their families. The telehomecare network grant awards are to demonstrate how telehealth networks can improve healthcare through provision of clinical care and remote monitoriing of patients in their place of residence using telehealth technologies. These home care network awards are to focus on evaluating the cost-effectiveness of telehomecare services and may include, but are not limited to, case management by physicians, hospitals, medical clinics, home health agencies, or other health care providers who supervise the care of patients in their home.
