In October 2025, we returned to the fundamentals — because getting telehealth right means getting the basics right. We kicked off the month by challenging the industry’s obsession with features, instead highlighting how workflows, training, and operational clarity drive true patient engagement and reliability.
Next, we reframed innovation as a leadership culture, not a tech stack — sharing practical, low-cost strategies FQHCs are using to create change that sticks, like secret shopper programs and cross-role alignment.
We also finished out our series in support of the US Rural Health Transformation Program , showcasing 18 telehealth solutions that are already expanding access to maternal care across rural communities — helping providers deliver connected, equitable care from early pregnancy through postpartum.
Finally, we celebrated Telehealth Tuesday’s 6th birthday with a look back at six years of insight, strategy, and weekly commitment — plus a preview of what’s next for this resource that is viewed by about 1,000 readers each week.
