As part of its telemedicine initiative, the 595-bed Texas-based Children’s Medical Center Dallas deployed the TeleNICU in 2013 in order to meet the demand for access to pediatric subspecialists, which is a problem in the state. Leaders at the medical center see this program as representing the future of healthcare.
Children’s Medical Center Dallas was recognized as a semifinalist in the 2013 Healthcare Informatics Innovator Awards program. Leaders of this team, along with leaders of the four finalist teams, will be recognized at the Healthcare Informatics Innovator Awards Reception, to be held in Orlando on Feb. 24 at the annual HIMSS conference.
