This Website has been established to report on the process of starting an
exciting new project: Connecting Remote Monitoring facilities in North
Carolina and Oregon, a coast-to-coast Telehealth project.
The
Roanoke-Chowan Community Health Center is facilitating the initiation of a program that is on the leading edge of Telehealth progress: remote monitoring of chroncally ill patients. The project is unique in that Roanoke-Chowan is located in North Carolina and their partner, Mosaic Medical Community Health Center is in central Oregon. The Central Oregon Telehealth Network is truly a coast-to-coast effort.
The
blog and analyses of the project you'll find in this site are being conducted by the
Mid-Atlantic Telehealth Resource Center (MATRC) and the Northwest
Regional Telehealth Resource Center (NRTRC). The Telehealth Resource
Centers are part of a nationwide group of centers aimed at expanding
health care to underserved populations through use of Telehealth services. For more
information on the TRCs, visit the National TRC website, For information on MATRC, click on this link; and for information on NRTRC, click here.
The
COTN Experience Website will post impressions from the participants in the
project, both providers and patients. It will also contain observations
from the TRC staff who are monitoring the project and from project
administrators. We encourage you to track this site as the project
grows.
