Olive Presents Telehealth Academy 2021
a Program of Nashville Entrepreneur Center and The Disruption Lab
September 14 – November 2, 2021
Three-hour sessions every Tuesday, from 2 p.m. – 5 p.m. CST
“We’ve learned so much over the last 17 months, particularly within health and healthcare delivery models. The pandemic required the industry to rapidly adopt new models of care including telehealth, virtual care and digital health offerings.”
– Eric Thrailkill, Chairman of Nashville Entrepreneur Center’s Project Healthcare
The Academy is an immersive, eight-week program for healthcare providers who dramatically accelerated telehealth during the pandemic and now need to step back, reassess, and develop a roadmap to integrate telehealth into their care delivery strategies.
Virtual care including telehealth provider visits, remote monitoring, and hospital care at home had been on slow adoption curves. The pandemic changed everything. For healthcare organizations that were primarily reactionary in their telehealth deployment, the Academy provides a forum to be strategic and assess the many opportunities now available through virtual care and telehealth.
The Academy is primarily designed for healthcare executives and clinicians who have been tasked with leading telehealth initiatives in their organizations. It’s also for entrepreneurs who are innovating new care delivery models and technologies, as well as executives from sponsoring organizations who represent leading companies in the healthcare ecosystem.

Participants’ time commitment includes three-hour sessions over eight weeks with optional outside projects. The closing session is scheduled to be in-person at the Nashville Entrepreneur Center, with a virtual option also available. Site visits with provider organizations and telehealth companies are virtual.
The Academy curriculum is structured around weekly, three-hour sessions over eight weeks with the closing session offered in person. All other sessions will be virtual only. The curriculum is designed to not only be an immersive learning experience but also for participants to engage in small groups of non-competing peers and develop a telehealth roadmap for their organizations.
Upon completing the Academy, participants will have a deep understanding of current and emerging telehealth models and use cases; familiarity with multiple vendors and technology options, including integration issues; understanding of regulatory and compliance issues along with costs and financial models; insight into obstacles to telehealth adoption including equity and access by rural and underserved communities; and data on benefits including clinical outcomes and satisfaction. Participants will have the broad knowledge required to lead telehealth in their organizations.
