Jail Administration Telehealth Solutions

Case Study: Franklin County Jail

THE PROBLEM:

Access to specialty healthcare is limited in Florida’s rural jails and prisons, and that healthcare can be a critical factor in an inmate’s overall health and rehabilitation.

THE SOLUTION:

Big Bend Community Based Care partnered with the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office to put an LTI kiosk in their county jail. The kiosk allows inmates to meet with counselors, psychiatrists, and other specialty doctors without leaving the jail or a doctor having to travel to the jail’s relatively remote location.

THE RESULTS:

Using LTI’s telehealth portal has allowed us to help inmates who are suffering from addiction and receive services they otherwise could not receive in our small community. Franklin County Sheriff AJ Smith

We provide the infrastructure that allows providers to support anyone from anywhere.
