A candidate for a master’s certificate in project management from the University of Wisconsin at Madison, Julie Van Puffelen spent more than a decade as an executive nurse liaison and project manager with the documentation systems company Epic in Verona, Wisconsin. In this capacity, Julie Van Puffelen became well versed in Epic’s telehealth solutions.

Epic offers a variety of telehealth tools and services, enabling organizations to deliver health care using remote technology. Patients can access specialist referral services ranging from remote and rural primary care support to telecardiology. Genetic consultations, abuse evaluations, and medical interpretations can also be undertaken through referral services.

In addition, Epic offers patient monitoring services that include chronic disease management and remote intensivist coverage. Patients who already received treatment from their primary physician can benefit from ongoing patient care services, ranging from post-surgical follow-up to financial counseling on medical expenses. Medical professionals can also use the peer-to-peer consultation network to seek a second opinion on patient treatment services.
