CTEC’s telemedicine publications are created based upon
successful program practices that can be replicated by other
programs. These publications cover both specific issues, which
impact the development of telemedicine programs as well as
practice guides for particular specialties and modalities of
care.
This guide assists in the development of a telemedicine program’s
marketing component. It provides a variety of tools and templates
geared to guide you through the critical elements of performing a
market analysis and implementing promotional strategies and
efforts.
The Organization Readiness Guide assists you in the first step of
developing a telemedicine program. This guide provides
easy-to-follow questionnaires that will walk you through
describing your proposed program and determining if your
organization is culturally ready to begin the program development
process.
FQHC Reimbursement Models provides a practical explanation of
reimbursement models for Federally Qualified Health Centers
(FQHC) operating under Prospective Payment Systems (PPS).

In 2009 CTEC launched a policy initiative to identify barriers to
telehealth growth and to recommend policy and action steps to
further the implementation of this important technology.
Chartered as a Collaborative, CTEC engaged telemedicine
stakeholders including health care organizations, provider
groups, consumers, payers and funders, government agencies and
experts from across California. The Collaborate developed a
unified perspective on policy and strategies necessary to
overcome barriers to widespread adoption. The results and
recommendations have been published in CTEC’s, Optimizing
Telehealth in California an Agenda for Today and Tomorrow.
This report provides the broad views and opinions of telehealth
experts and interested organizations about needs, concerns, and
barriers to telemedicine expansion in California. It is a summary
of the focus group project conducted by CTEC in 2008.
This report provides qualitative meta-review of 21 literature
reviews on the clinical and cost-effectiveness of telemedicine.
The report examines published research on issues relevant to
telemedicine reimbursement, specifically focusing on three
primary research areas: clinical efficacy, cost-effectiveness,
and obstacles to demand and diffusion.
