#NEWS. We received multiple requests for an extension to the submission deadline, so we have extended the deadline to midnight on Friday March 12! Get those nominations in!
MATRC is seeking nominations that tell a compelling story of a telehealth program or project that has led to breaking down barriers to accessing quality care and/or addressing an unmet need that has led to improved health outcomes and/or quality of life. For more information and to submit a nomination, go to: https://matrcsummit.org/breaking-barriers.html
Examples of applications of telehealth include live interactive videoconferencing, store-and-forward, remote patient monitoring, as well as the use of mobile health apps, games and wearables.
To be eligible, the story must be about a telehealth program or project within the MATRC Service Area. This includes DC, DE, KY, MD, NC, NJ, PA, WV and VA. Awards will be announced and presented at the 2021 MATRC Telehealth Summit (http://matrcsummit.org/). Nominees need not be present to win.
Two awards will be given, one in each of two categories, as selected by a panel of judges. Each of the two winners will be awarded a $1,000 cash prize and free registration to the 2022 MATRC Telehealth Summit. Winners may also elect to donate the amount of their cash prize to the nonprofit of their choosing.
Nominations are due by midnight on Friday, March 12, 2021.
