DON’T WORRY,

WORLD CLASS

SPECIALIST

ON CALL

When time is of the essence, the University of Illinois Telehealth Network is essential. Oftentimes, hours if not minutes can make the difference between a permanent debilitating physical condition and full recovery.  When on-site specialized care is not readily available, patient transfers often become necessary, wasting precious time and jeopardizing patient outcomes.

Our Telehealth Network addresses these limitations by instantly delivering top University of Illinois Medical Center specialists–anytime, anywhere. When necessary expertise or resources may not be readily available, patients can be treated efficiently, effectively, and without patient transfers by using state-of-the-art wireless, internet and robotics technology. Physicians from the University of Illinois Medical Center can be remotely present at the patient’s bedside, conversing, interacting and consulting with them; giving the sense that a specialist is in the room. It’s a simple installation that can go a long way in providing more specialized care to patients and new expertise to hospitals.

Additionally, by adding the Telehealth Network’s vast expertise to a hospital's own, they instantly increase the effectiveness of their staff, the richness of care available, and ultimately, the number of patients they can effectively treat. Remote and underserved area hospitals can treat more patients with fewer transfers.

Through the Telehealth Network, a patient can see world-renowned specialists unavailable locally. So no matter where your hospital is in the state, you’ll have access to the best specialists in the state.
