It will facilitate remote engagement and collaboration at patients’ bedsides in four hospitals, comprising Johns Hopkins Howard County Medical Center, the Johns Hopkins Medical Center, Sibley Memorial Hospital and Suburban Hospital.
Johns Hopkins Medicine plans to expand the partnership further this year, having selected Caregility for its inpatient virtual care initiative after an evaluation process.
The health system aims to increase employee retention and provide additional bedside support through the Virtual Nursing programme.
Caregility’s telehealth solutions will be integrated with Johns Hopkins Medicine’s Epic electronic medical record (EMR), streamlining the process for clinical staff to initiate and conduct virtual visits with patients as part of their existing workflows.
