NewYork-Presbyterian unveils pediatric urgent care on NYP OnDemand

Jessica Kim Cohen -

NewYork-Presbyterian Komansky Children's Hospital in New York City launched pediatric urgent care services on its NYP OnDemand telehealth platform.

The pediatric urgent care service connects caregivers with pediatric emergency physicians via video conferencing on NewYork-Presbyterian's website or mobile app. The remote physician will be able to evaluate children for common conditions — such as fever, rashes or vomiting — and can provide advice, treatment and medication recommendations.

The service covers patients across the state and will be available to patients between 6 p.m. and midnight. NewYork-Presbyterian plans to expand the service to Connecticut, Florida and New Jersey in the following months.
