Baptist’s Tech Stack: A Flexible, Responsive Solution
Baptist Health needed a care-at-home solution that could provide significant support as they established their program, easily adapt to different clinical use cases, and scale across the enterprise as they matured.
For high-risk patients, vitals are monitored throughout the day and night. For low-risk patients, blood pressure and weight readings are submitted daily.
Current Health’s Clinical Command Center nurses help monitor patients’ vital signs and respond to health alarms.
As needed, care teams engage with their patients via video calls, enabled through the Current Health app.
A best-in-class integration with Epic allows seamless data and workflows, allowing clinicians to focus on delivering excellent care.
