Hospitals across Iowa face the challenge of balancing rising patient demand with limited access to specialists. Staffing shortages, especially in neurology, behavioral health, and infectious disease, create barriers that strain care teams and lead to unnecessary transfers.

At the Iowa Hospital Association (IHA) Annual Conference 2025, Access TeleCare will highlight how our telemedicine programs help hospitals of every size scale specialty access efficiently and sustainably. By embedding virtual care directly into hospital workflows, we enable clinicians to deliver timely, high-quality care that keeps patients in their communities.

With more than 2,200 active telemedicine programs and over 6 million patient encounters, Access TeleCare’s scalable model delivers real-time access to specialists in neurology, behavioral health, ICU/critical care, hospital medicine, maternal-fetal medicine, nephrology, and more.

“Efficiency and scalability are critical for hospitals in Iowa and beyond,” said Joshua DeTillio, MBA, FACHE, CEO of Access TeleCare. “Our telemedicine programs allow hospitals to do more with limited resources—expanding specialty access while supporting clinicians and strengthening care delivery statewide.”
