Northern Arizona Healthcare expanded its Care Beyond Walls and Wires telehealth program, according to Healthcare IT News.
Here are three takeaways:
1. Successful in its pilot period, the program boasted fewer hospitalizations per patient and shortened hospital stays.
2. Telehealth allows the organization to reach rural clinics in other areas of Arizona.
3. Although building the proper telehealth infrastructure requires more funding on the frontend, North Arizona Health will save a lot with the program's implementation.
