Welcome to the Palmetto State Providers Network (PSPN)
Welcome to the Palmetto State Providers Network, better known as PSPN. PSPN is a high-speed data network created exclusively by and for South Carolina’s healthcare industry. PSPN is one of the largest and most advanced healthcare networks in the United States and was created to provide medically underserved South Carolina communities access to state-of-the-art Health IT solutions, diagnostic tools and training. The use of health-related applications over broadband can save lives, improve care and lower costs.
How it works?
Palmetto State Providers Network (PSPN) allows healthcare providers throughout the state to connect to the PSPN backbone network and exchange vital information over a dedicated Healthcare IT network. Through the use of a single PSPN network connection participants can securely exchange data with other PSPN Participants, access the Internet and a host of valuable services resulting in improved performance and, in many cases, at greatly reduced costs. Medical information can be exchanged in real-time for review by specialists in remote locations. Members are able to improve healthcare for the communities they serve even though patients may not have access to area specialists. Healthcare patient information, imaging and confidential video transactions can be exchanged in many cases without using the Internet and other less secure networks.
