Rural Healthcare: The 30 Minute Ride
40% of rural residents travel 30 minutes or longer for medical care. When you get there, you expect world-class health care. Rural health providers want to give you world-class care, but due to the realities of rural life, can’t.
Even if your doctor provides mammographies, X-rays, or even CAT scans, she doesn’t have adequate communications with urban medical centers. Doctors everywhere need to consult on diagnoses, and often a telephone call is not enough. Consulting doctors far away need to see the condition, whether in a photograph, X-ray, video feed, or EEG data.
And they need to see it now. Not tomorrow, or next week.
Skycasters can make that possible.
The Need for Speed
According to ABC news, President Obama says the government will push for electronic health records for all Americans within five years in order to save both dollars and lives.
The 2009 American Recovery and Revitalization Act provides your medical facility with the opportunity to use government funds to prepare for the future of healthcare.
Can you wait 3, 4, or 5 years?
How Skycasters can help. Now.
Skycasters provides high-speed satellite broadband communications anywhere in the United States, including Hawaii, and parts of Alaska.
No terrestrial lines such as fiber or gigabit copper
Whether you need a satellite dish on the roof of your medical center, or the roof of your clinic on wheels, Skycasters has the solution for you. We can get you connected fast, and keep you connected even when the electricity grid goes down, or a bursting water main takes out your T-1.
No matter where your facility is located, we can provide broadband access fast – typically within 10 days via a 1.2 meter satellite dish. Whereas with a terrestrial line, you will have to wait months maybe even years to lay enough fiber optic cable to connect to high-speed broadband.
If your funding is in place for terrestrial broadband, but the plan is "sometime in the future," we can help bridge the gap. Use Skycasters as your primary broadband service now, and when your terrestrial service is installed, retain Skycasters as your business continuity solution.
ARRA, Telemedicine & Skycasters
The federal government wants to give you billions of dollars to help spread broadband across the country. Use your ARRA grant money to get broadband Internet access now with a Skycasters' broadband satellite Internet option, and simultaneously build your terrestrial network for future redundancy.
Please review Skycasters' White Paper describing the fundamentals of ARRA, the Role of Satellite Internet Providers, and opportunities for Skycasters to help you in obtaining broadband satellite Internet.
