Description of Services:
The University of Mississippi Medical Center’s Center for Telehealth is Mississippi’s first and most comprehensive telehealth network. Starting with TelEmergency services in 2003, UMMC Center for Telehealth now provides over 35 telehealth specialty services to 200+ non-affiliated sites in Mississippi. Some of the highlighted programs include Mississippi’s only eICU program; remote patient monitoring for chronic disease management; and our Corporate Telehealth program. Health care workforce shortages, financial constraints, geographic barriers and poor health outcomes demand an innovative model that is culturally appropriate and cost effective. In over half of Mississippi counties, patients must drive more than 40 minutes to receive specialty healthcare. Without access to quality care, our state is falling short on national health standards. The Center for Telehealth at the University of Mississippi Medical Center is working to improve access to care in our state.
