The teleNICU program allows StoneSprings pediatricians to connect in real-time to neonatologists at Reston Hospital Center and collaborate via video conferencing, data transfer and through a specialized stethoscope and camera forphysical examinations.
If further care is required, patients will be transported to the level III NICU at Reston Hospital Center.
“With families growing at exponential rates, it makes complete sense for our NICU team based at Reston Hospital to extend our services to the communities being served by StoneSprings Hospital,” said Kenneth Harkavy, MD, head of neonatal medicine at Reston Hospital Center. “The collaboration between our clinical teams will help to decrease delays in critical care that babies in distress may need.”
