St. Paul's Hospital of Providence Health Care in Vancouver, British Columbia, tapped SeamlessMD, an integrated care solutions provider, for patient engagement technology to improve care for colorectal surgery patients.
SeamlessMD's technology platform provides patients with daily reminders leading up to surgery, check-ins to monitor progress after surgery, personalized recovery recommendations and educational multimedia resources to improve home recovery.
"We are excited about this partnership with SeamlessMD, which matches perfectly with Providence Health Care's goal to provide exceptional patient care," said Manoj Raval, MD, a colorectal surgeon with St. Paul, according to an emailed release. "The use of SeamlessMD will allow our team to deliver an even higher standard of care for our patients. This program will ease the stressful process from preparing for surgery to recovery afterwards for our patients, having instant access to resources to help them through this journey."
The implementation of SeamlessMD at St. Paul marks the company's 12th service line launch this year and the first such launch in the Canadian territory of British Columbia.
