The Mayo Clinic is utilizing emergency video telemedicine to effectively help community hospitals less familiar with modern newborn resuscitation interventions during high-risk, complex deliveries.
Mayo’s Division of Neonatal Medicine previously provided newborn telemedicine consultations to 6 of its health system sites, where regional care teams used wireless tablets running HIPAA-compliant video conferencing software from Vidyo to interact with neonatologists at Mayo in Rochester, Minn. Video consults are now conducted at all ten of Mayo’s health system sites that deliver babies in the Rochester region.
The technology integrates neonatologists to “visually assess the babies and co-handle them together with local care teams more efficiently utilizing video and better communication,” claims Jennifer Fang, MD, a Mayo Clinic fellow in neonatal-perinatal medicine. “With telemedicine now, we are capable to bring our neonatologists to the bedside remotely to really assist guide to these local care teams with complex deliveries.”
