Teleconferences
The primary purpose of these
teleconferences is to
provide Arkansas doctors the opportunity to interact with
other physicians and medical professionals statewide, in an
effort to establish and maintain current best medical
practices. An illustrative case presentation and/or
guidelines are often utilized to accomplish this initiative.
The second purpose of these teleconferences is to provide a
recurring setting in which Arkansas doctors can work
together with UAMS doctors. Learning from each other, as
well as getting to know each other better, will only aid us
to provide more comprehensive care for our patients.
UAMS offers teleconferences in the following specialties:
Guidelines
Reaching out through a growing real-time, interactive video network, ANGELS continues to develop
evidence-based guidelines with the combined expertise of physicians across Arkansas. This collaborative forum provides health care providers an opportunity to define best practices for selected conditions and peer-review of high-risk cases. Discussions are lively and informative with case studies presented by providers across the state. Specialists from multiple disciplines contribute current expertise and management practices.
The guidelines were developed
to aid health care providers in making decisions about
appropriate care. The guidelines are not intended to dictate
an exclusive course of treatment. The needs of the
individual patient, resources available, and limitations
unique to the institution or type of practice may warrant
variations.
For more information regarding the guidelines or the collaborative teleconferencing programs, please contact the ANGELS Call Center: (501) 526-7425 or toll-free at (866) 273-3835.
