Initiative 3: Connecting to Care to Improve Healthcare Access Strategy: Point-of-Care Telepods 

Description and Purpose of Funding

A Care to Consumer Point-of-Care Telepod (POC Telepod) is a self-contained, soundproof healthcare station with live audio, video and technology to assess vital signs, health history and current health issues and evaluate physical and mental conditions.

Through real-time connectivity, licensed clinicians will provide non-emergent telehealth services for the purpose of prescribing medication or instructing other appropriate medical care.

These stations will serve as a new service line allowing patients to connect with licensed clinicians for primary care services without needing an appointment.

Funding is approved to support the acquisition and placement of POC Telepods in rural communities intended to provide increased access to primary healthcare services.

Specifically, the placement of POC Telepods should increase access to care in areas of the community with limited accessibility and reduce inappropriate utilization of emergency departments for non-urgent, non-emergent patients.

This funding opportunity is available to rural hospitals in Georgia serving the 126 rural/partial rural counties defined as the eligible rural area under the GREAT Health Program. Hospitals previously submitting a signed Letter of Intent for Achieving Healthcare Efficiency through Accountable Design (AHEAD) model pre-implementation to the Georgia Department of Community Health will receive priority in the application process.

  • Transforming for a Sustainable Health System
  • Strengthening the Continuum of Care
  • Connecting to Care to Improve Healthcare Access
  • Growing a Highly Skilled Healthcare Workforce
  • Leveraging Technology for Healthcare Innovation

Who Can Participate?

Georgia has 126 rural and partial rural counties designated as the program’s areas of focus, based on the Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) rural grants eligibility analyzer.
