Changing the Course of Clinical Care

Around April of 2020, the pandemic created a sense of urgency surrounding telehealth, causing most primary care physicians to leverage telehealth into their practices in one way or another.

With an anticipated compound annual growth rate of 32.1%, the telehealth sector has proven to be an essential part of the future of patient care. With telehealth options provided across all campuses and most schools, TTUHSC clinics have been the pioneers of evolving technology in patient care.

MANAGED CARE
High-Quality, Cost Effective Health Care

The Correctional Managed Health Care program at TTUHSC is a nationally recognized leader in correctional health care, providing coverage for more than 32,000 state offenders in West Texas. With approximately 40,000 visits per year, telehealth appointments eliminate transportation and security expenses, and expedites the delivery of care.

We’ve found our telehealth program increases access to care and maximizes effective use of our resources, which mitigates some of the innate challenges of the correctional environment.
