"We have been working for a long time to bring this vision to life, and we are so excited to finally share these resources with communities to make health care more accessible in Wyoming," Amanda DeDiego, an associate professor of counseling in the University of Wyoming's College of Health Sciences, says in a press release.
Thanks to a grant from the Wyoming State Loan and Investment Board, three library locations in the state have opened "state-of-the-art" telehealth booths, the Casper Star-Tribune reports.
The goal of the Public Access Telehealth Spaces project is to make health care more accessible to those who live in rural and frontier areas of the state, where there are often barriers to accessing care, including lack of safety, inadequate technology, and the stigma of seeking care.
The booths are soundproof, secure, and compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, as well as telehealth technology that ensures the highest standards of privacy and security to safeguard sensitive medical information.
"Also, the user-friendly interface makes it easy for patients and providers of varying degrees of technical backgrounds to navigate and connect with each other seamlessly," DeDiego says in the press release. Read the Entire Article
