TRCs exist to improve the understanding of telehealth and how it can be used to improve access to and quality of care in rural and other medically underserved areas and to help develop telehealth programs that match the needs of a practice or community.

A survey of local residents might provide useful data but would not be the best method of obtaining information about how telehealth could improve care.
Interviewing providers who already use telehealth would give the nurse some valuable information but would not be the best method of obtaining information about how telehealth could improve care.
Performing a literature search would give the nurse current published information on telehealth but would not be the best method of obtaining information about how telehealth could improve care.
