DoD gives GlobalMed authority to run telehealth services on federal networks

The U.S. Department of Defense has given telehealth vendor GlobalMed authority to operate on DoD networks. The certification allows the company to deploy its virtual health applications, hardware and software directly on the DoD network, making its telehealth services available to the Military Health System's 57 hospitals, 400 clinics and bases around the world.
GlobalMed, a veteran-owned small business, also develops telehealth technology for the White House, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the Defense Health Agency. Officials it's the first HIPAA-compliant clinical video collaboration to obtain an ATO from the DoD.
DoD tapped GlobalMed for its virtual health platform to securely connect healthcare professionals and patients, regardless of their location worldwide. This will allow active duty members of the military and their dependents, wherever they may be working around the globe, to access the same quality care as they would at home.
"It has always been a personal priority to increase care access for members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard," said Joel Barthelemy, CEO of GlobalMed and a Marine Corps Reserve Veteran.
