Texas Hospital Association Endorses Access Physicians for Multispecialty Telemedicine
“Telehealth is no longer the future. It is the present. Identifying a high-quality and dependable partner for THA hospitals follows a rigorous due diligence analysis, and we are pleased to endorse Access Physicians and its strategic approach to telehealth,” said Ted Shaw, THA president/CEO. “Access Physicians and its approach to telehealth sets it above other vendors that neglect the strategy behind the implementation of telehealth solutions. While Access Physicians’ telehealth services can be used to complement an existing service line, they also can be a reliable option for new specialty care resources…the value of a telehealth partner should come from its ability to help manage and integrate into existing hospital operations and help devise a business solution that addresses patient needs,”said Lance Lunsford, president/CEO of THA HealthShare.

Cuero Regional Hospital launches telehealth cardiology consults
“Telemedicine gives us the ability to quickly connect the patient with a cardiologist,” said Dr. Tim McFarland, Cuero Regional Hospital ER physician and hospitalist. “These instant connections allow us to have conversations immediately with a cardiologist looking at the patient, the lab, the EKG, and other tests. Patients are more satisfied. This service helps us keep patients in our hospitals without having to transfer or wait for a consult. I have been impressed with the cardiologists’ skill set, credentials, bedside manner, and high level of care. TeleCardiology has elevated the level of care in our community.”

Cuero Regional Hospital Adds Telehealth Cardiology Consults
Cuero Regional Hospital has broken new technological grounds with the start of telehealth services, particularly telecardiology services through a partnership with Access Physicians. “If specialists have limited days and times to see patients at rural hospitals, the next best thing is to bring them on board remotely,” said Lynn Falcone, CEO of Cuero Health. “With telehealth technology, our patients and staff can interact with a board certified cardiologist as if the cardiologist was physically in the room with the patient…Given the challenges rural hospitals face when recruiting specialists, telehealth medicine is a fantastic solution. It delivers the high level of compassionate and quality care that we want to provide our patients in the comfort of their room rather having to travel to see a specialist and/or waiting days to see a specialist.”
