Lee Health Integrates Smart Room Platform through Vibe Health to Grow Care Delivery
Partnership will accelerate virtual nursing and elevate the patient experience across the enterprise.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.—October 22, 2024 (PR Newswire)— eVideon, the developer of the Vibe Health smart room platform, announces a strategic partnership with Lee Health, one of the largest not-for-profit public health systems and Safety Net Hospitals in Florida. The partnership includes the initial deployment of Vibe Health Engage TVs and Insight digital whiteboards in 500 rooms across the Lee Health system, including Golisano Children’s Hospital. The central aim of this partnership is to create a central, fully integrated hub inside the patient room to improve clinical and operational efficiency, while also elevating the healthcare experience for patients and their loved ones.
“As Lee Health leaders continue to focus on optimizing technology use to both improve patient care and support employee satisfaction, the opportunity to create smart rooms in our hospital became very enticing,” Vice President and Chief Digital Health Executive Dr. William Carracino said. “This set up integrates many of our platforms together, creating an ease of use for patients and staff to receive up to the minute information on care plans with the click of a button.”
Vibe Health will integrate with Lee Health’s electronic health record (EHR) system, Epic, to display critical health information inside the patient room in real time, streamlining clinical workflow for nurses and making the information easily accessible for patients.
Additionally, integration between Vibe Health and Caregility, a leading enterprise telehealth company, is central to this modern care experience. The integration eliminates the need for additional equipment or staff in the patient room during a virtual care interaction. By integrating the footwall TV with the in-room camera, Lee Health delivers a frictionless virtual care experience for patients, families, bedside nurses and virtual care providers.
“Our team takes pride in being the partner that takes health systems’ dreams from concept to reality,” said Jeff Fallon, chairman and CEO of eVideon. “We worked closely with Lee Health to understand the obstacles it faced as a system and the frustrations their nursing staff were dealing with. This implementation will allow nurses to focus less on the administrative work and more on the care—which is at the heart of what they love to do.”
