Children’s Minnesota Telehealth Network services
Children’s Minnesota partners with health care systems and health care providers to deliver pediatric telehealth services. Health care providers and their patients can interact with pediatric clinical staff at Children’s Minnesota to access expertise and specialty care by means of real-time, interactive audio and visual tools.
About our telehealth services
As part of Children’s Minnesota Telehealth Network, your health care system, providers and their patients will have direct access to Children’s Minnesota specialty care and consultations using telecommunications technology. Provider to provider telemedicine consultations allows health care providers from different specialties to review patient cases, discuss diagnosis and treatment options delivering care closer to the child’s home.
Children’s Minnesota uses an encrypted, HIPAA compliant video conferencing platform called Vidyo. Participants will need a device enabled with a camera, speaker(s) and microphone to download and use Vidyo.
