A device called a Beam is enabling Miramont Family Medicine physicians to be in more than one of its four locations at the same time, according to an article on the Healthcare IT News website.
The telemedicine technology that resembles a robot-like device on wheels with a monitor for a face: A physician's face appears there when she is communicating with staff and patients at another location.
Beam can be used with a computer or smartphone app. The system was first used for psychologist, clinical pharmacist and nutritionist consultations for patients in the remote areas. They expanded to family physician consultations for chronic disease cases.
Miramont has since overseen fiberglass cast removals, presented at weight loss clinics, provided buprenorphine/addiction clinic follow up, and given instructions for kidney infection care, among other things.
