Inside access: Telemedicine for incarcerated patients
In recognition of HIV Awareness Month this December, this webinar explores how telemedicine is strengthening HIV care delivery and outcomes in the Arizona Department of Corrections system. This webinar will explore benefits of telemedicine in correctional systems, including improved management of chronic and infectious diseases such as HIV, while comparing virtual care to traditional brick-and-mortar models. Participants will learn how telemedicine supports patient engagement, enhances safety and creates opportunities for experienced clinicians to meaningfully contribute to correctional health.
This webinar is made possible through funding provided by the Health Resources and Services Administration's Office for the Advancement of Telehealth (2 U1UTH42527-04-00).
