What is our mission and vision?
Mission - In support of the UAMS mission, to teach,
to heal, to search, to serve, the Center for Distance Health exists to
facilitate distance health implementation of educational, clinical, research,
and outreach opportunities, including the effective management of need
assessments and efficient resource matches to eliminate disparities in
health care.
Vision - The UAMS Center for Distance Health seeks the
elimination of health care disparities in Arkansas.
What services do we provide?
The Center for Distance Health is located in the College of Medicine
and will coordinate distance health services for the individual departments
located within the College of Medicine. The CDH also serves as conduit
for the coordination of distance health care activities between UAMS and
health-care consumers (here defined as rural hospitals, Department of Health and Human Services, insurance
companies, and individual patients). Delivering both educational and clinical
telehealth programs, the CDH establishes UAMS ahead of the technology
curve, while aligning UAMS with federal telehealth initiatives. The CDH will
facilitate coordinated, successful implementation of clinical and educational
telemedicine and outreach services for additional specialties and disciplines
at UAMS, establishing the University's proactive leadership in this inevitable
evolution of health care delivery.
