Module 5: Evaluation Considerations for Telehealth Programs
Evaluation is a tool for measuring a program's impact and providing information on where to make
improvements. Careful evaluation is
critical to ensuring that rural telehealth programs are achieving their goals and objectives. Evaluation
findings can also facilitate sustainability if they
demonstrate a return on investment for telehealth programs.
This module provides methods and considerations for evaluating telehealth programs for rural community health. For a detailed overview of program evaluation, see Evaluating Rural Programs in the Rural Community Health Toolkit or the Conducting Rural Health Research, Needs Assessment, and Program Evaluation topic guide.
