Telehealth

March 2015 RMC instituted a Telemedicine (Telehealth) program by which we provided primary care services to rural school districts and remote locations.

A Telehealth visit is a two-way video visit between the patient and the provider, enabling patient access to clinical healthcare from a distance. Through our HIPAA compliant Rice Telemedicine Platform, Rice Medical Center and Rice Medical Associates provide healthcare to patients by eliminating the hurdles of distance. 

Rice Telemedicine provides local access to specialists across the state (or anywhere with an Internet connection). These include Primary Care, Psychiatry, Dermatology, Cardiology, Geriatrics and Pediatrics within our clinic-based, school-based and long-term care-based programs.

One of our long-term telemedicine partnerships has been providing primary care and urgent care services to the residential Texas ChalleNGe Academy.

We look forward to the future of Telemedicine and the advantages that it will afford our community.
