Telehealth Patient Assessment for
Health Centers

JSI and the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) are administering a patient assessment to learn about health center patients’ experience with telehealth.

Our goal is to examine patient experience with telehealth and learn more about how to maximize access, promote equity, and ensure quality of care. To this end, the survey is available in English, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese (simplified), Haitian Creole, Korean, Russian, and Vietnamese.

On this page, you can find materials to support your health center’s participation in the assessment, which is currently active. While health centers and their staff are key partners in spreading the word about the assessment, the assessmentis patient-facing and individual patients, not health centers, will complete the assessment.
