The kiosks, 5-by-8 foot private booths equipped with medical devices and videoconferencing technology, will allow patients at universities, large businesses and other locations to visit with a Cleveland Clinic physician remotely. A medical assistant will be present at each site to aid patients in the process.
The kiosks are designed for walk-in patients with minor, acute conditions such as colds, skin conditions and earaches. The kiosks are connected to Cleveland Clinic’s electronic medical record system, allowing the kiosk visits to be added to a patient’s record.
“Healthcare innovation is essential to make care more accessible to patients. This relationship allows patients to utilize the latest technology to connect to Cleveland Clinic experts in a more convenient way,” said Toby Cosgrove, MD, CEO and president of Cleveland Clinic, in a news release. “This strengthens our ability to meet the growing needs of patients in everyday settings, delivering higher value for their healthcare dollar.”
