Medical College of Georgia

Overview

Telemedicine at the Center for Telehealth supports numerous clinical functions, including both initial and follow up consultations, established specialty clinics, and emergency consultations.  More than 7000 consultations have been conducted to date, providing access to more than 45 medical specialties and subspecialties, as well as allied health and nursing specialties.  The majority of requested medical specialties are pediatrics, psychiatry, pulmonology, hematology/oncology, family medicine, dermatology, infectious diseases and neurology. The majority of non-physician consultations are occupational therapy, speech pathology, pediatric nutrition, and physical therapy.  Because of teleconsultation, more than 98% of telemedicine patients are able to remain in their local communities while receiving necessary specialty care previously only accessible via patient transportation to the specialist.
