Peoria, Ill.-based OSF Healthcare is launching a telehealth education program as it looks to expand care to patients in rural communities.
The program, called Simulation to Address Rural Telehealth Education Development, is a joint venture between Normal, Ill.-based Illinois State University and OSF. The telehealth platform can run live assessments, consultations, diagnoses, and care creation plans, according to a Dec. 15 OSF news release.
In the simulations, OSF uses trained actors to portray patients. Undergraduate nurses and family medicine grad students will have the opportunity to practice real-life medical situations.
