MILWAUKEE and SEATTLE, April 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Xealth<\/a>, the leader in enabling digital health at scale, today announced that Children\u2019s Wisconsin<\/a>, Wisconsin\u2019s only independent healthcare system dedicated solely to the health and well-being of children, is using Xealth\u2019s digital health platform system-wide to virtually connect care teams and pediatric patients post-hospital discharge with Locus Health<\/a>\u2019s remote patient monitoring (RPM) solution.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving the ability to monitor our patients once they leave the hospital is remarkable. Our use of this platform and solution is in the early days, and we are already seeing improved outcomes \u2014 from avoiding an unnecessary emergency room visit, to being able to wean from the ventilator faster, or have a feeding tube removed sooner,\u201d said Kimberly Cronsell, MD, associate chief medical officer and medical director for Digital Health & Experience for Children\u2019s Wisconsin. \u201cThis is helping us provide better care to our patients, amplify our parents\u2019 and caregivers\u2019 ability to care for their children, streamline provider and care team workflows, and ultimately, improve clinical outcomes.\u201d <\/p>\n

Extended hospital stays after a procedure place a strain on children and their families. With an initial focus on cardiology, enteral feeding and patients with tracheostomy vents, Children\u2019s Wisconsin is leveraging Locus Health\u2019s pediatric RPM solution, delivered via Xealth\u2019s digital health platform, to enhance the hospital’s ability to monitor select pediatric patients post-discharge, enabling tailored care plans, quicker interventions, and better outcomes for young patients. Integration into the EHR brings the program into clinical workflows, ensuring that care teams have instant access to vital health data.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cChildren recover better at home, and parents with kids in the hospital are stretched thin juggling additional children, plus home and work obligations,\u201d said Kirby Farrell, CEO of Locus Health. \u201cLocus Health gives them the comforts of home along with the close connection to their providers to monitor their progress. We are excited to work with Children\u2019s Wisconsin and Xealth to help children get better where they do best \u2013 at home.\u201d <\/p>\n

By leveraging Xealth\u2019s digital health platform to centralize digital health assets and tools within the EHR, Children\u2019s Wisconsin\u2019s care teams can digitally order, monitor and measure the use of these materials, providing transparency in the adoption and effectiveness of the program.<\/p>\n

\u201cFew situations disrupt a family as much as a sick child in the hospital \u2014 children experience better outcomes when they can recover at home,\u201d said Mike McSherry, CEO and co-founder of Xealth. \u201cRemote monitoring allows patients to leave the hospital sooner and get better where they are more comfortable, while providing the care team with immediate and convenient access to the appropriate vitals. By offering Locus Health through Xealth, Children\u2019s Wisconsin helps families and deepens the connection between patients and care teams \u2014 both within and beyond the facility walls.\u201d <\/p>\n

In March 2023, Xealth and Children\u2019s Wisconsin announced<\/a> the healthcare system\u2019s use of Xealth\u2019s digital health platform system-wide to integrate patient education and custom content into care team workflows. This enables faster and easier distribution of consistent communications across locations, providing patients and their families with timely access to reliable information.<\/p>\n
