Communication system facilitates TeleHealth interactions between multiple caregiver and patient locations

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, USA, April 15, 2105 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Intermountain Healthcare has received a 2015 Microsoft Health Innovation Award for developing and implementing infrastructure and technology that allows caregivers from multiple locations to collaborate with each other and communicate with patients as if they are in the same room.

Presented at the Health Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Annual Conference and Exhibition in Chicago, the award recognizes Intermountain for its media-rich, audiovideo solution that is built on Microsoft Lync, a platform for real-time video conferencing involving multiple locations. The Intermountain-developed solution enables it to better leverage the medical expertise of specialists and other healthcare providers across its 22-hospital system.

As part of its broad TeleHealth strategy, Intermountain currently is using the technology in 260 critical care rooms and 132 emergency department rooms, as well as in labor and delivery units, outpatient care settings, and the Primary Children’s Hospital TeleHealth Suite.
