About

This document explains how the Eastern Great Lakes Pediatric Consortium for Disaster Response used telehealth to improve care during disasters, especially after COVID-19. It highlights the shift from a closed network to an open one, allowing hospitals to use existing technology for remote care. The paper identifies benefits like real-time consultations and challenges such as state regulations and billing issues. It recommends addressing these barriers and using telehealth not just for medical care but also for emergency management in pediatric disaster response.
