Telemedicine brings specialist care, like Tele-ICU, Tele-ID and TeleNeurology Solutions, to the patient, rather than transporting the patient to the specialist. Telemedicine can mitigate the effects of the physician shortage and the equally challenging geographic maldistribution of doctors. Thanks to the power of telemedicine, “rural” doesn’t have to mean “remote”. We are lucky to impact so many lives with our telemedicine programs. Hear what our customers have to say about the care delivered by Eagle Telemedicine physicians.
Meadows Regional Medical Center – Vidalia, GA
“We thought we might see a different face each time, but our Eagle team is a core group of three or four intensivists we see regularly. Nursing staff feels like they have a real camaraderie with them.”
– Karen McColl, VP for Medical Affairs and CMO
Piedmont Mountainside Hospital – Jasper, GA
“It has been amazing. Work/life balance is wonderful now. I’m not exhausted from going from days to nights trying to take care of my patients. The telemedicine doctors are an extension of our team. We communicate in the mornings and in the evenings about handoffs and critical patients and it’s been a very positive experience. I feel very comfortable leaving my patients in their hands”
– Dr. Ingle Owens-Schnaurs, Daytime Hospitalist
Saint Luke’s - Hendrick Medical Center and Wright Memorial
“Effective handoffs and physician documentation in the medical record provide a safe transition between days and nights. Patients are able to stay in their community to receive high quality care. And nursing staff has ready access to physicians overnight. Care is not delayed. The Eagle physicians are very responsive. I know I can count on them to provide high quality physicians.”
– Catherine Hamilton, Chief Nursing Officer
