Using content and seminars supplied by pediatricians at Boston Children’s, OPENPediatrics makes instruction on critical pediatric care accessible to clinicians working in remote or underserved parts of the world. Because the platform is hosted in the cloud rather than dependent on local infrastructure, all users can be assured of the most up-to-date information.
“Nothing breaks down walls and brings people together like caring for a critically ill child,” said Jeffrey Burns, MD, chief of critical care medicine at Boston Children’s Hospital, in the release. “With IBM’s technology and services arsenal and our critical care expertise, we partnered to bring our vision of stronger pediatric care to countries across the globe. In doing so, we’re extending the reach of medical education to help save children’s lives and laying the groundwork for the digital hospital of the future.”
