The great health care challenge of the day – The IHI Triple Aim – is to improve the patient experience and the health of populations, all while reducing cost. The new realities of care management are encouraging leading health systems, hospitals and clinics to use technology to bring care, connectivity and convenience together for patients and families.

This intersection is the focus of a new agreement between GetWellNetwork®, Inc., and Vidyo, Inc.. In any setting, GetWellNetwork’s Interactive Patient Care™ (IPC) platform educates and empowers patients to participate in and manage their health. The VidyoWorks™ platform integrates directly into the care process, enabling greater productivity for clinicians and new opportunities for patients to engage. Together, the technologies will enhance the quality of, and improve satisfaction with, the patient experience.

Providing clinicians and patients with the right tools at the right time and place is key to delivering better care and a better experience. For example, with the integration of GetWellNetwork and Vidyo, just a few clicks will enable clinicians to conduct secure, real-time consults with other clinicians to coordinate care and optimize the patient’s treatment plan. The combined technologies will also ensure patients have the ability to connect anytime through live, high-definition video with the friends, family and caregivers that they need for support on their health journey.

“We are seeing great demand for the integrated solution, which is being championed by physicians and Chief Nursing Officers not only for bedsides in the hospital, but also for bringing the same level of patient care into the home and creating a more personalized experience,” says Amnon Gavish, Vidyo’s SVP of Vertical Solutions.

As demand from providers continues to grow, patients also recognize the benefits of engaging in their care with video conferencing. A recent Harris Poll indicated 64 percent of patients would consider a video chat with their doctor instead of a face-to-face visit, saving time and travel costs. The opportunity to spend time with faraway friends and family can have a significant impact on the care experience as well. Imagine being in a hospital for weeks, but being able to share the room with your dad, who is stationed overseas, or your daughter, who is away at college. Even when just a few walls can feel like a world away, a hospitalized mother could stay connected with her newborn admitted to the NICU.

“Combining Vidyo technology with IPC not only meets a growing market demand but, more importantly, expands the possibilities for patient care and satisfaction,” said GetWellNetwork Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer David Bennett. “Now, patients and their families will truly be able to connect with their physicians and caregivers wherever they may be on their health journey.”

IPC and video conferencing help providers in their mission to deliver quality, cost-effective care and a better overall experience across the care continuum. Throughout the care process, patients and families want to stay connected to their providers and to each other. With the integration of VidyoWorks and GetWellNetwork, they will.
