UMass Memorial Health Care, Inc. rolls out new “Digital Hospital”
New England Council member, UMass Memorial Health Care, Inc., recently opened a new digital hub, or “digital hospital.” This hub will combine the company’s tech-enabled remote healthcare services in one place, making remote patient care more efficient, effective, and less costly.
The digital hospital merges the system’s remote patient monitoring, patient transfer and access, and in-home care management programs. The company also hopes that this hub will help UMass be more proactive when it comes to new AI and digital innovation.
“The longer term is that this continues to adapt and morph into a tightly integrated set of services that ultimately delivers even better care to the people in Central Massachusetts by having this digital hospital concept available to them… It’s going to continue to morph and grow and to solve additional problems that we haven’t even gotten to yet,” said Dr. Eric Alper, senior vice president, system chief quality officer and chief clinical informatics officer at UMMH.
The New England Council congratulates UMass Memorial Health Care, Inc. on this innovative new healthcare platform.
