Recently launched through the CARES Act by The Federation of State Medical Boards, ProviderBridge.org helps mobilize the health care workforce during COVID. The site provides info on emergency regulations and licensing by State, as well as a provider portal to connect volunteer health care professionals to State agencies and other health care entities via telehealth. Provider Bridge hopes to fill a critical need by using telehealth services to quickly increase access to care in areas with health workforce shortages.
