The virtual hospital brings together the health system’s telehealth programs under one roof. At the 35,000-square-foot center in Boise, a team of St. Luke’s physicians, nurses, allied health professionals and IT staff will be able to diagnose and treat patients across remote areas of Idaho and eastern Oregon using two-way cameras and remote monitoring equipment.
The program will focus on three key areas: clinic consultation, hospital consultation and home monitoring.
“We see this center as the place where compassion meets innovation,” said Chris Roth, COO of St. Luke’s, in a news release. “When you can unite technology, skill, talent, innovation and compassion to solve the health challenges our neighbors face, and do it before they have to seek care in a traditional hospital, the value is incalculable.”
