Wisconsin's Dean Clinic has received a 446,375.00 dollar grant to establish the distance learning and telemedicine program. The grant is federal money awarded through authorization of the United States Department of Agriculture.
The use of telemedicine in rural areas allows diagnosis and treatment to occur faster. Telemedicine is the ability to provide interactive health care utilizing modern technology and telecommunications. The patient and doctor can talk with specialists in real time (live) over video for immediate care. Health clinic staff can forward images for feedback from specialized disciplines. Some specialists prefer to see current images and consult with clinic staff rather than comb through files of dictated notes.
This grant money helps deliver the same level of specialized care experienced by residents of large metropolitan areas to the rural Wisconsin landscape. This pushes needed specialty services in to the small rural clinics for the benefit of the patient population.
