Community Hospital Telehealth Consortium
Abstract
The Community Hospital Telehealth Consortium is a unique, forward-thinking, community-based healthcare service project organized around 5 not-for-profit community hospitals located throughout Louisiana and Mississippi. The central tenet of the CHTC project is the utilization of TeleHealth technology to improve and expand the opportunity for rural and urban underserved populations to receive quality, affordable health care. The CHTC's goals are to improve quality of and access to health care, to reduce system costs without jeopardizing outcomes, to position Louisiana and Misssissippi for the emerging domestic marketplace, and to position Louisiana and Mississippi for the international marketplace. Considerable progress was made throughout the project period through our Telemedicine Clinics, our Home Health Telehealth initiatives, and our distance learning initiatives.
