Northwell Health in the New York State is enlarging the telehealth technologies and services across its enterprise of twenty-one hospitals and 550 outpatient facilities that involve physician practices, imaging centers, surgical centers, laboratories, skilled nursing facilities, home healthcare and medical/air ambulance services.
The agency is working with telehealth vendor Avizia and also has made an undisclosed equity investment in the company. The investment and other funding that Avizia has gained bring its complete capital to $18 million.
Northwell already utilizes telehealth technologies to support a remote virtual intensive care unit program with specialists assisting critical care teams, as well as a telestroke program enabling neurologists to rapidly evaluate sufferers. Now, these programs will enlarge to all existing facilities.
Moreover, the agency, which already uses tablet computers to remotely monitor sufferers in their homes, will adopt technology and service from the vendor to support virtual consultations among the physicians.
“This partnership with Avizia will surely make better the Northwell’s capability to communicate care plans across the care continuum, as well as suitably handle care in more cost-effective settings for sufferers,” claimed Thomas Thornton, senior vice president and executive director of Northwell Ventures, which made the investment in Avizia.
Thornton also touted the end-to-end capabilities of vendor and open technology architecture that eases integration. The company serves and facilitates more than 400 healthcare agencies in 37 nations, as well as 8 of the top ten U.S. healthcare agencies and organizations.
