Martin General Hospital, a 49-bed facility serving patients in Williamston, North Carolina and the surrounding communities has selected Specialists On Call, Inc. (“SOC”), the largest provider of telemedicine services and technology to acute care hospitals, as its partner to offer critical care services.
The program went live August 8, 2017 and hopes to enhance the patient experience through increased and quicker access to specialists.
“This partnership will enable our patients to have immediate access to specialists through telemedicine,” said John Jacobson, Interim CEO and Chief Financial Officer of Martin General. “The technologically advanced process will allow a specialist to perform a physical examination of the patient over the internet. The specialist can then consult with the treating physician about the best treatment plan for the patient.”
“Our growing partnership with Martin General Hospital demonstrates a collaborative effort with access to care through telemedicine”, said Hammad Shah, CEO of SOC. “It is a privilege to be a part of Martin General Hospital’s innovative approach to ensuring that patients receive quality care in local communities.”
