TELEHEALTH PROGRAM |
UTMB’s
Telehealth Program, currently among the most distinguished in the nation,
is ranked by Telemedicine and Telehealth Networks magazine as one
of the top 10 such programs in the country. The program provides
a powerful new tool to deliver preventative, diagnostic and specialty
health care services to thousands of indigent women and children without
the sometimes lengthy, costly and burdensome trip to Galveston.
One of our highest priorities is to bring together our Regional,
Maternal and Child Health Program with our successful Telehealth Program. As such,
these programs will expand, strengthen and make more accessible our health
care services for the women and children served through RMCHP.

In April 1991, our Telehealth and Distance Education Project was inducted
into a permanent research collection on information technology at the
Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.
In August 1991, Telehealth Magazine named UTMB, the University of
Vermont, Allina Health System in Minneapolis and Texas Tech University as
the four members of its telehealth “Hall
of Fame,” a
designation that recognizes pioneers in the use of teletechnologies to
provide patient care. |
