VA Boston Healthcare System Uses GlobalMed's Mobile Telemedicine Stations!

July 18, 2012 - PRLog -- The Office of Telehealth Services (OTS) has been improving Veterans' access to quality medical care with the use of advanced telemedicine technologies, including full-service telemedicine stations by GlobalMed. Telemedicine and videoconferencing technology allows VA doctors to offer specialty consultations to veterans without the need for travel, thereby improving the care veterans receive while keeping costs low. GlobalMed is proud to be part of this campaign to help improve the health care our country's veterans receive.

Telemedicine has grown in popularity in recent years, prompting the US Department of Veterans Affairs to expand existing telemedicine programs and implement new ones. As part of this expansion, the latest innovation took place in February of this year at VA Boston Healthcare System (VA BHS), where new technologies were added to various programs such as teleradiology, telepsychiatry, tele-spinal cord injury, home-based primary care, and tele-retinal imaging. Through the use of telemedicine technology, VA BHS is ensuring that veterans receive the care they need when they need it – and where they need it.

GlobalMed's mobile medical stations are equipped with the latest video conferencing technology and a wide array of medical peripherals that facilitate remote patient evaluations and specialty consultations – without the need for patients to travel. GlobalMed’s telemedicine carts and other telecare solutions allow VA hospitals and clinics throughout the nation improve veterans' access to specialty medical treatment, while containing costs.
