Digital Disparities: The New Social Determinants of Health

1.00 NAPNAP Contact Hour. This continuing education activity is offered at a reduced rate to NAPNAP Members. This continuing education activity rate is $10 for NAPNAP Members. For non-members, this continuing education activity rate is $20. This course is a recorded presentation for NAPNAP's 2025 National Conference.
Telehealth can overcome barriers to health care access and improve outcomes, but without attention to digital equity and existing health disparities, it may exacerbate rather than enhance health equity. Digital literacy, the digital divide, health literacy, cultural competency and accessibility are essential considerations for all telehealth providers whether connecting to patients across communities or around the world. This presentation will highlight digital inequities and methods to overcome them along with key elements of cultural competency necessary when providing virtual care.
