Providence’s inpatient telemedicine programs pack a powerful punch
Healthcare IT News September 16, 2024
The convergence of physician shortages, efficient use of hospital beds and hybrid working models contributes to the growth of inpatient telemedicine. The health system’s programs address critical constraints and boost patient outcomes.
Inpatient telemedicine at health system Providence provides critical access to care to more than 100 hospitals across nine service lines. And it has been improving quality and access across the health system.
Inpatient telehealth services at Providence include tele-stroke, tele-EEG, tele-neurohospitalist, telepsychiatry, a telehospitalist program, Hospital at Home, and tele-ICU. Recently, the large health system launched a tele-infectious disease program and a virtual nursing program called CoCaring. These programs are critical due to the shortage of physicians and the difficulty in recruiting specialists to rural areas.
