Fire Chief Nick Perkins joined FOX 7 Austin's Rebecca Thomas to discuss the new partnership between Travis County Emergency Services District No. 2 and Tela9-1-1.
It's a telehealth and virtual physician platform that allows patients to get a consultation without being taken to a hospital.
With the implementation of Tele911, paramedics arrive on the scene, evaluate the patient and determine if they are medically eligible to participate in a live telehealth visit with a Tele911 emergency physician. The Tele911 physician assesses the patient and establishes an appropriate disposition and treatment plan specific to the patient’s needs.
Another important aspect of the partnership includes not only a next-day follow-up from the physician, but also follow-up by a licensed Tele911 social worker to provide them with linkage to primary care and local resources.REBECCA THOMAS:Yeah.
