- Emory Healthcare in Atlanta has teamed with Philips Healthcare and Royal Perth Hospital in Australia on a telehealth-based intensive care monitoring program to reduce the burden of night shift work for doctors. The program enables Perth-based U.S. clinicians to provide remote night time critical care support to patients in Atlanta during daytime hours in Perth. The Philips eICU technology supports near real-time remote patient monitoring that includes use of algorithms that can predict deteriorations in health. “We are turning night into day to make the lives of our caregivers as positive as possible while improving care, quality and patient outcomes,” says Tim Buchman, director of the critical care center at Emory Healthcare.
- North Ridge Health and Rehab, a 320-bed facility in New Hope, Minn., will launch telemedicine services using the telehealth platform of TripleCare, which serves skilled nursing facilities. TripleCare physicians will conduct real-time consultations with patients when North Ridge Health’s clinicians are not on site, such as during nighttime, weekends and holidays. The teleconsultations are expected to reduce transfers to the hospital and hospital readmissions.
