Discover how developments in technology are helping to provide better care to patients.
Jupiter, FL—An upcoming segment of Advancements with Ted Danson will focus on recent innovations in telehealth technology.
With a look at certain disparities being felt throughout the healthcare industry, Advancements will explore the need for broadband and telehealth services today. Audiences will discover how the COVID-19 pandemic brought to light the severity of the digital divide in South Carolina, especially in rural and low-income communities.
Audiences will learn how Palmetto Care Connections’ (PCC) Digital Inclusion Solutions are helping to close the digital divide for residents in rural and underserved areas by increasing internet access and affordability, and by connecting individuals to quality-of-life resources through digital literacy trainings.
“Through our digital inclusion program, PCC has reached over 1,200 South Carolinians in rural and underserved communities in 14 Counties with some of the highest health disparities,” said Kathy Schwarting, chief executive officer of PCC. “Each program participant received in person digital literacy training with a telehealth and health literacy segment, a laptop or tablet, and assistance with affordable internet solutions.”
In addition, the show will explore how PCC’s Broadband Consortium helps eligible health care providers receive up to 65% savings on broadband, internet, and network equipment, connecting more people with vital care.
“PCC offers an array of technology and equipment solutions for implementing telehealth programs,” said Richard Lubin, senior producer for the Advancements series. “We look forward to sharing how PCC is helping to bring these solutions to patients in need.”
