Department Of Corrections
Through the linkages of the University of Virginia Telemedicine network, physicians at the University of Virginia regularly provide services to the inmates of the Department of Corrections Telemedicine Project. Some benefits of the telemedicine program are: enhanced access to quality health care for the prisoners, reduced cost and improved security for correctional facilities, increased efficiency through block scheduling of clinical services, and increased effectiveness of patient record tracking.
To date, the University of Virginia Office of Telemedicine has provided healthcare consultative services in 35 clinical specialties.
We currently provide services to the following correctional facilities:
- Augusta Correctional Center
- Buckingham Correctional Center
- Coffeewood Correctional Center
- Dillwyn Correctional Center
- Fluvanna Correctional Center
- Red Onion Correctional Center
- Wallens Ridge Correctional Center
- The Albemarle/Charlottesville Regional County Jail
