Connecting Care: The Value of Care Continuity
Bridging the Gap Between Telehealth and Bedside
Tuesday, December 8, 2026
1 - 2 p.m. Eastern; noon - 1 p.m. Central; 10 - 11 a.m. Pacific
Join us to learn how one leading healthcare organization is enhancing and streamlining care delivery across the inpatient and remote care environments. As health systems navigate ongoing workforce challenges, bed capacity constraints, and the need for broader specialist coverage, telecare provides an essential operational bridge for extending clinical expertise beyond traditional care settings. However, success depends on technology that is intuitive and easy to use. Complicated user interfaces and telecare setups can frustrate care teams and lead to unnecessary technical downtime.
Asking the right questions during the early planning and implementation phases is critical. This session will explore the value of standardizing reliable, workflow-friendly technology across the healthcare system from clinical and collaborative spaces to administrative areas. Attendees will also learn from real-world care models and discover how technology can support inpatient specialist consults, patient education, discharge transitions, and advanced Hospital at Home programs. Key topics include:
- Extending Specialist Access to the Bedside: Bringing off-site specialists (e.g., tele-stroke, intensive care, behavioral health) into acute rooms to support bedside staff. Especially valuable for rural hospitals facing specialist coverage shortages.
- Technology-Enabled Workflows & Care Team Support: How reliable audio and video technology directly streamlines time-intensive interactions like on-demand medical translation, patient education, and bringing remote family caregivers into the room — reducing the time bedside nurses spend coordinating logistics and easing front-line staffing pressures.
- Advancing Care Models Through Hospital at Home: Extending acute care into the home setting to alleviate hospital bed congestion, lower overhead costs and better support specific patient populations. Learn why adoption is accelerating, who benefits most and technology considerations for success.
Finally, we’ll discuss the importance of deploying technology that is easy to track, manage and support across the enterprise. Standardized solutions help simplify IT and AV operations, reduce troubleshooting demands, improve room readiness, and ensure a consistent, reliable experience for both care teams and patients.
Attendees Will Learn How To:
- Identify technology gaps before they disrupt care: Uncover subtle hardware friction points, confusing user interfaces and audio/video issues that can derail workflows, along with the key questions clinical and IT leaders should ask early in the planning process to prevent them.
- Standardize the inpatient room environment: Learn what it takes to create a reliable bedside experience that connects floor staff with remote specialists quickly and seamlessly, without adding extra steps or cognitive burden.
- Streamline care transitions and ease nursing burden: Explore practical ways intuitive video technology can simplify patient education, enable on-demand medical translation, and bring remote family caregivers into care discussions, helping bedside staff save valuable time.
- Evaluate technology for Hospital at Home programs: Understand why platform consistency, and hardware reliability across care areas are critical when extending acute care delivery into the home and supporting scalable Acute Care or Hospital at Home models.
