OSF HEALTHCARE SYSTEM
Current Health is allowing OSF to safely monitor and care for more patients – with a wider range of conditions – at home , outside of a hospital setting . Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Boston , Current Health ( a Best Buy Health Company ) offers an enterprise care-at-home platform to enable healthcare organisations to offer the best patient-centric care . The Current Health platform unites remote patient monitoring , telehealth capabilities and patient engagement tools .
Foulger explains , “ We have a chronic high-risk , advanced care-at-home service , supported through Current Health digital ’ s platform . Patients receive pulse oximeters , blood pressure cuffs and glucose monitors , which are seamlessly integrated through bluetooth connection . The captured data gets recorded in the electronic patient health records and care plans at OSF , which , in turn , are monitored 24 / 7 by our clinicians .” As a result of real-time monitoring and data , OSF clinicians are able to intervene when they see something that is out of range . They can then connect to the patient via video technology which is integrated within the Current Health platform . According to Foulger , the core ingredient to a successful partnership is ensuring that you partner with someone who understands key needs .
“ As a healthcare system , we need a configurable digital platform that caters to both our patients and us . Therefore , it is important that our partners listen to our voice to ensure the technology works seamlessly for patients and clinicians . I think the feedback that our staff has provided is fine-tuning the solution and
