EHR company Meditech has integrated its platform with digital care company SeamlessMD for its Canadian customers.
The collaboration will allow providers to monitor patients during and after hospitalization. Sault Area Hospital in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, is the first hospital to use the integrated technology. So far, 1,000 Sault Area patients have used the technology, according to a Nov. 16 news release from Meditech.
"For patients experiencing unusual complications during the postoperative period, integration between SeamlessMD and Meditech allows us to gain deeper insight into the patient's day-to-day behavior," Sault Area Chief of Orthopedics Graham Elder, MD, said. "These previously unknown details — which we can use to inform diagnosis and treatment — may prove even more valuable on-call when clinicians are assessing a patient that they are not familiar with."
