The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences is providing telemedicine support for high-risk pregnant women at the Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences' Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
The collaboration will allow consultations in real time between medical specialists, pregnant women and the physicians who treat them at the OSU Medical Center in Tulsa. Medical professionals at OSU will be able to collaborate with medical specialists to co-manage patient care so they don't have to refer patients to distant hospitals or clinics.
For several years, OSU obstetricians and gynecologists have taken part in regular interactive video teleconferences and webinars as part of professional distance learning and collaboration with UAMS.
The additional maternal-fetal medicine support is expected to deepen the existing professional relationship between the institutions.
