The program is a consultative telemedicine service that allows HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital Breese physicians and patients to interact with neonatologists at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon. Via video and audio technology, HSHS St. Joseph’s neonatal patients can receive real-time, remote consultation and evaluations. If additional care is required, HSHS St. Joseph’s will transfer the neonatal patients to Cardinal Glennon.
“For those difficult incidents where a neonatologist is needed to provide evaluation and consultation, this new collaboration with SSM Health Cardinal Glennon allows that to happen without the family having to leave Breese, ” said Mary Starmann-Harrison, president and CEO of Springfield, Ill.-based Hospital Sisters Health System. “This consultative telemedicine service offers additional support for our local ministry colleagues who are providing exceptional care at the bedside every day.”
