 Our
Regional Maternal and Child Health Program (RMCHP) is a system
of 39 clinics in east and southeast
Texas, serving 82,661 women and children with 11 part-time
local physicians, 29 certified midwives, 25 nurse practitioners, 66
registered nurses and two physician assistants.
Founded in 1989, RMCHP makes available a broad
range of health care for women and children and is unmatched in scope
and service by any other institution. (more about
RMCHP)By incorporating telehealth in our program we will increase the number of patients served, expand services and eliminate costly and time-consuming trip for patients who must journey to Galveston to meet with UTMB specialists. Phase one, supported in full by the Texas Telecommunications Infrastructure Board and Houston Endowment, establishes video conferencing connections between UTMB and our RMCHP clinics. Phase two provides a secure electronic medical records system, a quick and efficient way for UTMB specialists to have accurate and necessary patient information. Phase three extends the impact of telehealth by applying teletechnology to utrasound imaging, non-stress testing and mammography reading. (details) |
