Connected Care Anywhere: Building the Digital Foundation for Rural Healthcare

Secure, reliable access to critical information has never been more crucial for rural hospitals and healthcare providers. Clinicians move constantly between patient rooms, outpatient facilities, ambulances and patients’ homes — and they need reliable connectivity wherever care is delivered. Healthcare organizations manage rapidly growing volumes of digital data, including electronic medical records, high-resolution medical imaging, telehealth services, remote patient monitoring and AI-enabled clinical tools.

This webinar explores the growing importance of resilient, high-bandwidth connectivity in rural healthcare environments and the role it plays in supporting patient care, operational efficiency and workforce productivity. Experts from Verizon and the Center for Digital Government will discuss the challenges rural providers face in maintaining seamless access to applications and data across distributed care settings, as well as emerging strategies for strengthening connectivity inside healthcare facilities and beyond their walls.

We’ll also discuss the new Rural Healthcare Transformation program, which will strengthen and modernize rural healthcare nationwide through $50 billion in federal funding. These grants will help medical facilities develop innovative local solutions to expand access and improve health outcomes. 

You’ll learn:

• How evolving models of care are increasing the need for reliable connectivity across hospitals, clinics and patients’ homes
• Why electronic medical records, medical imaging and other data-intensive applications are driving demand for greater bandwidth
• The operational and clinical risks associated with connectivity disruptions
• Strategies rural healthcare providers are using to support secure, seamless access to information wherever care is delivered
• Key considerations for building resilient network infrastructure that can support future healthcare innovations
