Texas Tech Telemedicine Program
Playing a Leading Role in Moving Texas to
the Forefront of Telemedicine
The Texas Tech
University Health Science Center (TTUHSC) was an early pioneer in telemedicine
and continues to be a program at the forefront of telemedicine technology and
innovation. For over 10 years, AMD Global Telemedicine
has worked closely with TTUHSC to implement telemedicine throughout the state
of Texas.
Based in a rural part of Texas, Texas Tech University has
quickly emerged as a leading provider of telemedicine services in the state.
Launched in 1989, the program's initial purpose was to link four campuses of
the Health Sciences Center located in Lubbock, Amarillo, Odessa, and El Paso. The program's first consult took place in
June of 1990 from an Alpine, Texas hospital.
Texas Tech's
Telemedicine Technology Manager, Mark Watts, has played an integral role in the
success of TTU's program. He continues to identify and implement the appropriate
technology to meet the needs of the program based upon the medical challenges
throughout the state. "Identifying community
needs and putting technological advantages to work have allowed our
telemedicine program to provide healthcare to many rural and underserved
communities in the state of Texas," stated Watts.To read more about TTU's Telemedicine Program, click here.

each of these issues appears to maximize the likelihood of success or failure. The findings were initially present to ISfT
