Description of Services:
Global Partnership for TeleHealth and its affiliate agencies were formed to promote improvements in healthcare and healthcare facilities by assisting in the establishment of telemedicine programs within underserved areas. The use of telemedicine programs drastically reduces the service barriers that exist for patients who live in underserved areas. We work to expand these services further around the world by providing equipment, education and training in hospitals and healthcare facilities that administer telemedicine programs, thereby improving access to care. The Global Partnership for TeleHealth is a non-profit agency based on experience and knowledge gained from years of creating and maintaining telemedicine programs, and made possible by advanced telecommunications, software and equipment. The hallmark of the Global Partnership for TeleHealth is the Open Access Network, a web of national and international strategic partnership clinical access points with successful existing telemedicine programs. This comprehensive network also supports the creation of new telemedicine locations to maximize opportunities for timely specialty services across the globe. Global Partnership for TeleHealth is a worldwide extension of the work of Georgia Partnership for TeleHealth that was established in 2006 in Waycross, Georgia. The original Georgia-based program quickly grew to include state-of-the-art telehealth solutions for individuals living in underserved communities within neighboring Florida and Alabama with the establishment of Alabama Partnership for TeleHealth and Florida Partnership for TeleHealth. These three organizations continue to work towards providing residents of underserved communities in Alabama, Florida and Georgia with access to specialty care within 30 miles of their homes. The work within these three states resulted in the development of the Global Partnership for TeleHealth's centralized scheduling portal to connect patients with specialist consultations via the Open Access Network in a matter of days or even hours versus the weeks or months that it may have taken before.
