fostering a culture of compassion, equity, learning, and leadership to enable scientific innovation and promote the health, well-being, and potential of newborns, their families, and our team.
Expanding telemedicine support in the NICU
We have officially launched TeleNeo at Stanford Medicine Children’s Health. In this program, Stanford Children’s attending NICU physicians will now be able to provide remote consultations 24/7 with select hospitals via a telehealth device. Our team has partnered with Teladoc® using their Lite 4 with Boom device, which allows physicians to activate a video livestream of a patient and communicate directly with the care team during emergent events. The program may decrease the need to transport sick newborns long distances to receive high-level care.
Under the leadership of Ritu Chitkara, MD, the TeleNeo team brought this program to fruition, united by the goal of ensuring all babies have access to high-level expertise in the delivery room and newborn nursery. “Ideally, we want to use this program to provide extraordinary care by optimizing the quality and safety of newborn resuscitation and evaluation in our community,” Dr. Chitkara says.
