Telemedicine & OB/GYN
Telemedicine & OB/GYN comprises section E(2) of Proviso 33.34.
Working with South Carolina hospitals and rural health services providers, SCDHHS will develop a program to expand the use of telemedicine and ensure targeted placement and support of Obstetrics/Gynecology (OB/GYN) services in four counties with a demonstrated lack of adequate OB/GYN resources.
Using data from the University of South Carolina, Institute for Families in Society, Division of Policy and Research on Medicaid and Medicare, the team selected Allendale, Bamberg, Barnwell and Hampton counties for this program.
This program is set for implementation by July 1, 2014.
