Equum Medical, a provider of telehealth-enabled specialty care to rural, critical access and community hospitals, has been named a Pipeline Partner of the National Rural Health Association (NRHA). For more than 10 years, Equum’s national network of physicians has helped rural hospitals fill gaps in care delivery caused by a lack of specialists and cleared bottlenecks in patient flow resulting from inappropriate care transitions, adverse events and delayed discharge.
NRHA’s mission is to provide leadership on rural health issues through advocacy, communication, education, and research to its 26,000 members across all 50 states. Equum is now one of the resources available to NRHA members.
Equum works with partner companies or a hospital’s existing telehealth infrastructure for the video and audio feeds. Equum applies a proprietary algorithm to optimally distribute the capacity of its network of remote specialist physicians. Read more.
