Telemedicine allows rural hospitals like Piggott Health System to transform the community’s expectations, and other hospitals across the country are embracing telemedicine and accelerating new ideas of value in small market health care.
James Magee
Executive Director Piggott Health System
“At one time the hospital was viewed as more of a waystation with patients coming to our emergency room just to be transferred to another facility. But now with telemedicine, we’ve improved the care we offer and we’re able to keep more patients here.”
JT DeWitt, D.O. Chief Medical Officer Piggott Health System
“Seeing the Access TeleCare cart and the doctor talking to the patient and then consulting our team was something we had not seen before, but quickly adapted to and really liked. They can do physical exams, review labs, and make clinical decisions all through telemedicine.”
