The Methodist Hospital is committed to improving health care and promoting the use of the most up-to-date information possible in patient care and treatment. Such use has the potential to make an immediate difference in the success of patients' medical treatment, while making lasting contributions to the education and professional development of their physicians.

The Methodist Telemedicine Service-using advanced video, satellite, and Internet technology-allows medical professionals from abroad to engage in an active, international exchange of medical information. This allows collaboration and project execution across borders, in areas including patient care, hospital operations, research, and education.

Methodist also provides consultative radiology services to international physicians and hospitals. By employing state-of-the-art technology, Methodist can link with clinics and hospitals that are equipped with compatible systems. These links allow Methodist physicians to retrieve and review images of films such as x-rays, MRIs, and CT scans, and provide international physicians with comprehensive case review.

Whether for a second opinion on a specific patient, a videoconference on hospital operations, the broadcast of an educational event, or a review of diagnostic images, our dedicated IT staff will work with you to customize a plan to meet your objective.
