Innovative Telehealth Solutions for Rural Populations

Compunetix is committed to helping healthcare organizations provide their patients and community with secure, virtual access to medical professionals during COVID-19 and in the future. Increased demand, access, aging, and transportation are significant public health concerns, especially in rural areas.

Recently, Compunetix partnered with Clinch Memorial Hospital in Homerville, Georgia to bring telehealth to their community. In the past decade, seven rural hospitals in Georgia have closed due to financial constraints, leaving communities without healthcare providers, notably OBGYNs and pediatricians. Clinch Memorial Hospital was on a similar path until Angela Ammons was appointed to CEO in 2017. Ammons was able to change the company’s culture, implement new innovative programs, and expand service lines. This turnaround enabled a multitude of improvements, such as a new family practice, Compunetix telehealth portal for patient care, online pharmacy system, medical stabilization program, updated medical equipment, and much more.

Clinch Memorial Hospital required a telehealth partner and program that could provide:

  • Easy accessibility by mobile and smart devices, with no download required
  • Face-to-face video conferencing with the ability to triage and transfer patients
  • Quick and seamless implementation without the need to purchase additional equipment
  • Effortless adoption without a strenuous training and onboarding period
  • Customized and brandable portal interface
  • HIPAA compliance

Video Call Center (VCC) for Healthcare is a browser-based, real-time voice and video workflow solution for healthcare providers that need to remain available to their patients in safe and secure manner. This HIPAA compliant solution enables secure communication with no download or application installation. Patients need only click a secure link to be connected with a healthcare provider via internet voice and video.

Compunetix’s expertise in the video conferencing industry combined with Clinch’s dedication to providing accessible healthcare created a successful partnership. Click here to read case study.
