A jolly good time — Nemours connects pediatric patients to Santa with telehealth equipment

Orlando, Fla.-based Nemours Children's Health System repurposed its telehealth equipment to bring inpatients some holiday cheer Dec. 8, ClickOrlando reports.

Nemours typically uses its telehealth service, dubbed CareConnect, to connect pediatric patients and their families with on-demand care.

However, one of Santa Claus' elves helped hospitalized children use telehealth tablets to speak with Santa, rather than a remote physician, for one day.

During the video visits, the children at Nemours facilities in Florida and Delaware were able to discuss their Christmas wish lists with Santa.
