Delivering High Quality Integrative Telehealth Services
Sponsored by:
Given the state of the world in the COVID-19 pandemic, more people than ever are in need of telehealth services. Integrative Touch (InTouch), a social profit organization, is dedicated to delivering integrative medicine to the underserved through innovative systems modeling. With the onset of the pandemic, InTouch naturally evolved its programming into the telehealth sector in response to community health needs.
Many patients, whether at home or in the hospital, are reporting feelings of anxiety and isolation. Research shows that social connection and interaction are an integral part of healing. Given this, InTouch created two telehealth programs that have been available to patients, their family members, and their healthcare providers for the last two years. At the center of the telehealth program design is a strong focus on the value of building positive relationships to support healing.
During the creation of these programs, InTouch has identified key approaches that support a positive telehealth patient experience. In this webinar, the speakers will focus on provider techniques that can have profound impact, patient empowerment strategies, and helpful administrative protocols. Topics to be shared include tools for connecting with patients, suggested technological solutions, concepts around integrative telehealth modeling, and tips for offering wellness education to patients and their families.
Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to:
- Identify the core components of a relationship-based telehealth program.
- Describe the administrative aspects of integrative telehealth work.
- Understand this patient empowered telehealth therapeutic model.

Katie Frazee
Program Director, Integrative Touch (InTouch)
Katie Frazee came to her work with Integrative Touch (InTouch) through a scientific exploration of the human body. With a Master of Science in Biological and Forensic Anthropology, Frazee began working in pediatric medicine while studying modern trends in growth and development for the National Institute of Justice. After she severely fractured multiple bones, her study of the human body began to focus on regenerative mechanisms. In response to this injury, Frazee became a licensed massage therapist and studied trauma healing and energy medicine among other healing modalities. She created a private practice dedicated to supporting physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual resilience and sought volunteer opportunities with non-profits delivering access to the underserved. In search of organizations pioneering innovative healthcare systems improvements through integrative medicine, Frazee found Integrative Touch. She first joined as a volunteer and today she serves as the program director. Frazee deeply enjoys leading team-based, whole human wellness services in the hospital, community, and home settings. She holds a BA in Sociology and Anthropology from the University of Pennsylvania and an MS in Forensic and Biological Anthropology from Mercyhurst University.
