Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston has launched a three-pronged telehealth pilot program in collaboration with Boston-based American Well, a telehealth services company.
The program will offer patients access to telehealth visits in three clinical areas — child and adolescent psychiatry, heart failure and neurological movement disorders.
The hospital's physicians will be able to see and speak with patients through American Well's web-based platform. They will also be able to review a patient's clinical information and prescribe medications if appropriate.
