Connect Care Virtual Hospital
Intermountain Health’s 22 hospitals and clinics in Utah are now relying on a telehealth service called “Connect Care Pro” that amalgamates thirty-five telehealth programs and more than 500 providers. Besides basic diagnostics and monitoring, Intermountain’s telehealth offers stroke evaluation, newborn critical care, and mental health evaluations. Future plans include telehealth kiosks in schools, homeless shelters, community centers and jails. This piece also mentions Penn Medicine in Philadelphia building out connected care for dermatology, sleep medicine, ophthalmology, radiology, and transplant services. Conceivably, the hospital of the future is a telemedicine hub. MORE
