Nicklaus Children's Hospital in Miami, Fla., in partnership with Chicago-based hospice care organization VITAS Healthcare will implement HealthGrid to allow providers to exchange data from mobile devices.
CareNarrative, produced by Orlando, Fla.-based HealthGrid, allows clinicians to exchange information securely from any smartphone or tablet, including a summary of care record and other discrete patient information. The partnership also includes CareNotify, a HealthGrid product that sends patient schedules, medication lists, nutritional updates and other relevant education content to patients and their families, according to a news release.
The implementation of the platform allows clinicians across both systems to communicate more efficiently, saving time and costs as well as complying with meaningful use stage 2 requirements, according to the news release.
