Gregg Vann - Medical Informatics Presentation
Abstract
As Western medicine advances, the gap between urban and rural health care providers seems to widen. Hospitals in urban environments are often referred to as a "campus" but are operated like Fortune 500 companies, with vast resources to fund the latest cost-saving and life-saving advances. Rural practitioners, often generalists, are faced with many of the same urgent and family care needs as their urban counterparts, but are left to fend for themselves under far more austere conditions. This presentation will address some of the problems faced by rural practitioners and the costs associated with implementing modern solutions.
