RTTC vs Plant

The Telementoring Quality Measure Toolkit Mobile App features resources to support the design, launch, and evaluation of telementoring programs that improve rural health. Telementoring is the use of telecommunication technology to deliver training, education, and support for health care workers. It can improve rural health by building local capacity, reducing professional isolation, improving access to care, and sharing best practices. This app features: 1. Introductions to 6 models of telementoring, including value propositions and considerations for implementing them. 2. Descriptions and checklists of the steps through the RTTC's individualized technical assistance workflow to support teams through the launch and maintenance of their program. 3. Quality measure checklists for 5 telementoring models (ECHO, Individual consultations, online modules and curricula, podcasts and webinars) to support their launch and sustainability. All app content is accessible without Internet access but can only be installed and updated when the device is connected to the internet. This app was developed by the national Rural Telementoring Training Center (RTTC), a federally funded program to provide free training, tools, and technical assistance to support the implementation and evaluation of new and current telementoring programs for rural health workers. The RTTC supports evidence-based, high-quality telementoring programs that expand care access, build cultural proficiency, and improve rural health. This project is supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under grant number U5ARH45728 and title Rural Telementoring Training Center.

“Right plant-right place” is the concept of choosing the correct plants for the correct environment so they can thrive. Over the years, OSU Cooperative Extension Horticulturists have created and updated several fact sheets and publications to educate the public on the right plants for their landscapes in Oklahoma. This app brings this plant information such as water, light, and soil requirements, cold tolerance, size, color, season of interest, and wildlife value to the consumer in an up-to-date, easily accessible form to provide Oklahomans with plant selections that have proven to do well in our state. These include recommendations for trees, shrubs, perennials, ornamental and turf grasses, ground covers, vines, and annuals that will help Oklahomans find the right plants for not only their area of the state but also specific areas in each individual landscape. Users can easily create lists to keep track of plant selections for easy recall when shopping as well as access fact sheets to further help with landscape questions.
