"Not only does it make fiscal sense, but it's simply better patient care to allow the caregiver and child to remain in a comfortable environment' where they can safely be monitored from home,'" Greg Silvey, Vice President of Growth for Locus Health, says in a press release.
That's why Children's Nebraskathe only full-service pediatric health care center in Nebraskais teaming up with Locus Health, a remote patient monitoring company, to offer virtual care to its enterprise-wide pediatric population.
The two are announcing an " enterprise-wide remote patient monitoring and electronic health records (EHR) management integration with Locus Health," per the press release.
Children's Nebraska clinicians will be able to monitor children at home for potential changes in health that may require quick intervention.
"We are seeing a very real movement in pediatrics to deploy at scale a remote monitoring platform for dozens of care pathways," Silvey says.
"Not only does it make fiscal sense, but it's simply better patient care to allow the caregiver and child to remain in a comfortable environment' where they can safely be monitored from home.'"
