Digital Health projects
Digital Health connects patients to care when they are home:
- Video visits allow patients and families to have appointments with their providers without leaving home
- Remote patient management (RPM) allows health care providers to monitor certain aspects of a patient's health, both acute and chronic conditions, when they are at home
- eConsults allow primary care providers to get guidance from a specialist for specific conditions without having to refer the patient for an in-person appointment
- eVisits allow families to get guidance from a specialist for specific conditions without having to wait for an appointment (example: Acne Express available in MyCHOP)
Digital Health enhances the patient experience:
- Symptom Checker tool helps families make informed decisions about what level of medical care your child may need, if any, and steps you can take to relieve symptoms at home.
- Artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help our providers focus on their patients instead of typing during a visit
- Crib-side cameras in the Newborn/Infant Intensive Care Unit for caregivers who are unable to be at the bedside
