Research from the University of Iowa supports the claim that tele-emergency services can extend emergency care in rural hospitals. The study was published in the February edition of Health Affairs. Tele-emergency is the urgent care component of telehealth, services consisting of diagnosis, treatment, assessment, monitoring, communications and education of medical conditions via digital technologies like videoconferencing.
