Ochsner Health System Video

Oschner Health System saw a 100% increase in telestroke evaluations and a 50% reduction in ER lengths of stay using Vidyo.

Automatic transcript:

I had a telemedicine consult for a stroke since we started the telestroke
program we’ve conducted over 10,000 telestroke evaluations this year were on
pace to deliver 3300 to 3,400 consultations and that’s about a hundred
percent increase over the last two years since our launch in January we’ve seen
approximately 4,000 visits through video though specifically have allowed us to
see our telestroke patients those are in our cute care settings or telepsychiatry
patients we’ve also used this as a way to connect with patients in their home
in doing urgent care services our mission and Ochsner is to serve he’ll
lead educate and innovate we do that through care connect 360 or telemedicine
division by doing outreach to patients specifically for the purpose of
delivering high specialty care and for keeping patients close to their home our
overall experience with video has been very positive from the immediate
relationships that were made with the teams that we interact with from the
sales team to the implementation team to the work group team to do the
conversions across our 70 sites so as soon as I got there they set it up
within minutes the neurologist was on the screen we chose a video as we found
they were able to give good clinical quality video over low bandwidth which
is important for us as we begin to deliver teleMed services to the rural
areas specifically other countries and in rural settings where there is
extremely low connectivity and bandwidth in those areas gas is expensive and food
is expensive and the cost of to get there I have a family we’ve also
been able to show a consistently a high percentage of patients that are able to
remain locally I have a husband I have two children and their schedules a lot
of times they’re not conducive to me having to drive two hours one way to see a specialist
we only transfer patients out of their community if we are going to be able to
offer some therapy that they couldn’t receive where they are locally we’ve had
success in being able to grow our business because of the dependability
and and the scalability of the solution that they’ve offered us I think there is
an opportunity for us to grow as partners as we look forward to the
future and how we continue to grow telemedicine service and how video
continues to invest in their healthcare division the main advantage of moving to
video was that gave us the ability to connect a new video by either an iPad or
a phone in our particular therapeutic area which is stroke time is of the
essence so the sooner that we can connect to the bedside the better time
saved is brain saved
