Imprivata has launched a free offering to support healthcare providers with virtual patient visits and communication during COVID-19.
The software, GroundControl, has been made available to support interactions between patients, clinicians and close relatives through mobile devices. The tool is being used to support remote communication with care providers, virtual patient visits and inpatient telehealth consultations.
Daniel Johnston, MRes, RN, Clinical Workflow Specialist at Imprivata said “During the COVID-19 pandemic it is heartening that the global healthcare community are coming together to share ideas and play their part in whatever way they can. At Imprivata we are proud to contribute by making available our GroundControl provisioning solution free of charge to make all kinds of interactions with seriously ill patients as safe as possible. Minimising the need for staff to change scarce PPE multiple times through their shifts will also provide a tremendous benefit.”
GroundControl’s TeleHealth capabilities mean patients can contact and communicate with staff without having to be in the same room. The software is being made available for free until 31st July 2020.
University of Rochester Medical Center, based in New York, is one of the healthcare providers using the solution. Healthcare teams are using the tool throuhg shared patient iPads to support restricted visits between COVID-19 patients and loved ones at times when face-to face contact may not be possible.
Join us at 2:00PM, 18th June, for a live session with the Imprivata team. The session titled, COVID-19: Stories & lessons from the front lines of IT, shares customer stories and use cases including quickly enabling secure remote working, protecting digital identities, facilitating telehealth and virtual visits and risk mitigation and response.
