Educational Calendar and
Scheduling System Now Available!

The NSTN is excited to introduce a new web-based, user friendly scheduling system that has been in development for many months.  The system was designed to meet the unique needs of the Nebraska Statewide Telehealth Network and will be used not only for scheduling events, but also for providing information to health care providers and the general public.  On this site users can access:

• Telehealth Site Information:  Learn more about the hospitals and public health departments that are part of the Telehealth Network.  Find out what services and clinical consultations they offer via telehealth.
• Contact Information:  Easily connect with coordinators across the Network.
• Forms:  Download forms you need for your patients or staff easily and quickly.
• Telehealth News:  Learn what is happening within the state and across the nation. 
• More!

The system officially went live on January 1, 2007 and, as with all new technology, is still iin the process of being implemented and fine-tuned as new opportunities and needs surface.  For more information about the scheduling system, please go to www.netelehealth.net or email us at info@netelehealth.net..

Using the Statewide Telehealth Network

The Nebraska Statewide Telehealth Network is a private network of hospitals and public health departments connected for the purpose of providing clinical consults, educational opportunities and back up communication in the event of emergencies.  As a private network dealing with very confidential interactions (such as clinical consults), use of the Network is confined to members of the Network, their staff and affiliated medical staff. 

The Network has the opportunity for exponential growth as hospitals, public health departments, practitioners, patients and others discover the benefits and potential for its application in improving access to patient care, access to education and cost savings in its use for administrative functions.  As this occurs, we fully expect that other health related organizations may wish to utilize this medium for educating and meeting with health professionals and/or patients in the member hospitals and public health departments.

At this time, if you are not a member of one of the organizations listed, you must contact one of these organizations for possible sponsorship if you wish to hold an educational event or meeting over the Network.  Due to time and staff constraints, the Network cannot accept every request and each request by a health care related organization  will be looked at individually by the member organization contacted to decide if it is an appropriate use of resources.  

Non health care related activities involving persons who are not members of the Network and for-profit entities will not be permitted on the Network at this time.
