The WyTN will be working to continually provide updates on information surrounding COVID-19. If you have questions or would like to share COVID-19 resources, or if you would like to contribute to the newsletter, please email Greg Ronco at gronco@uwyo.edu.
In consideration of the progression of COVID-19, please consider expanding telehealth services at your practice, either through your own platforms or by obtaining a free HIPAA-secure Zoom account through the WyTN. Additional information can be found on the Public Health Institute blog.
The WyTN is offering an opportunity for you and your staff to share and receive information, suggestions, and resources about the Zoom™ platform for telehealth.
Starting on Thursday, March 26 we will be offering open labs via Zoom on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 - 10:00 am.
These open labs will be using a Q&A format and will not be traditional trainings. Our goal is to assist the community in feeling more confident in utilizing Zoom™ during this time. We are not sponsored by Zoom™ and will not be delivering specific “best utilization” advice. Rather, the focus will be on facilitating solutions that fit the needs of you and other providers.
