Telemedicine allows the Hospital to enhance its ability to provide exceptional care during overnight hours through the use of a robot that is equipped with a digital stethoscope and other diagnostic equipment, as well as a videoconferencing monitor and camera that enable physicians from remote locations to communicate directly with patients, family members and staff. They collaborate with staff to diagnose and admit patients to the Hospital, the same as “on-site” hospitalists do.
