The 11-hospital Wisconsin system already had virtual capabilities with infectious diseases specialists, for instance, consulting remotely but will be able to expand after joining forces with 45-hospital Sanford Health, according to the Jan. 6 story.
“For us to continue to develop that for other specialties and with other providers throughout the combined system, I think, is exciting,” Brian Hoerneman, MD, president and CEO of Sanford Health’s Marshfield Clinic region, told the newspaper.
Sanford Health has invested $350 million in virtual care in recent years after receiving a donation for that amount from its namesake philanthropist, Denny Sanford, including a 60,000-square-foot command center in Sioux Falls.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
