As health centers look to expand capacity for telehealth services, many organization may be looking at significant expenditures for information technology (IT). While there are many factors to consider before making such purchases, the federal procurement standards and property standards, in particular, are important considerations in any major IT purchase. Not only do these principles set baseline requirements, but they also inform how an entity might wish to research options and how they may want to structure their relationship with the vendor or vendors they ultimately select. 

On this webinar, we will walk through the key questions every system purchaser should ask his or herself, including:

  • Am I buying equipment, software, or both? 
  • Is the software off the shelf or am I paying for development? 
  • Do I own the software or just a license to use my copy of the code? 
  • What is the scope of my license and when will it expire? 

Once you know how to answer these questions and which questions apply to your purchase, you can begin to develop a strategy to manage negotiation with the vendor and your obligation to the federal government. 

In expending federal award funds to develop telehealth systems, health centers must be mindful of key federal grant management requirements that will have short- and long-term impacts on their operations. This webinar will explain some of the key considerations you need to be aware of and discuss strategies for managing these issues.

The On-Demand version of this webinar will be available for purchase after the conclusion of the live webinar.
