Using Videos For Better Health
Dr. Louis Gidel, Chief Medical Informatics Officer with Baptist Health South Florida, describes, with a digital imaging, how a two-way video of Telehealth works.
He shows the view in the tele-ICU and the view from the bedside. “The doctors and nurses can read all of the important information about the patients," he says.
Since 2006, at the Baptist, doctors have seen almost one hundred thousand patients with this system, the expert affirms. “We thought the patients may initially not be too receptive with this, but in 12 years doctors may have had a dozen or 10 patients who did not want the cameras on," he says.
