The accurate and timely treatment of paediatric illness often necessitates a paediatrician or a paediatric sub-specialist. Across our nation, and certainly the world, the ability of a child to see a medical specialist is not equal to that of another based on geographic location. Remote presence is not the entire solution, but through telemedicine Children’s Mercy Kansas City is increasing access by giving every child, regardless of where they live, the same opportunity to receive the best possible care.
