Toronto, Canada – March 28, 2023 – SeamlessMD, a Digital Care Journey platform that has been widely adopted across North America by leading hospitals and health systems to enhance the delivery of digital care, announces its successful deployment of a remote patient monitoring system for Oak Valley Health. SeamlessMD’s patient-centric technology will help Oak Valley Health, one of Ontario’s leading community health care organizations providing high quality, patient-centred care to more than 437,000 patients each year, deliver an enhanced digital experience that guides patients step-by-step through their surgical journey. At this time, Oak Valley Health is rolling out SeamlessMD to digitally support patients undergoing hip, knee, shoulder, and spine surgeries.
With SeamlessMD, patients at Oak Valley Health are guided pre- and post-surgery via evidence-based education, reminders, videos, and progress tracking surveys and they can self-report data, all through their own device (e.g. smartphone, tablet, computer). Oak Valley Health’s teams also benefit from being able to remotely monitor patients, view patient data such as care journey compliance, survey results, and opioid use, as well as access alerts, allowing for faster intervention for patients at risk and the delivery of better care. The platform is fully compatible with Oak Valley Health’s patient information systems.
“We’re excited to integrate SeamlessMD’s remote patient monitoring solution into our efforts to provide comprehensive and enhanced care to our patients and enable them to play a more proactive role in their health care journey,” shared Erin Landry, Patient Care Director Surgical Services, Oak Valley Health. “SeamlessMD’s user-friendly platform will help strengthen our patient engagement and education, and combined with empowering our care teams to be able to remotely monitor patients, it will help further our mission of reducing length of stay, ED visits, readmissions, and phone calls, as well as improve our PROMs survey response rate and monitoring of antibiotic and opioid use.”
This initiative is aligned to Oak Valley Health’s key strategy of enhancing patient experience and engagement, as this digital tool has proven successful in helping patients follow the care plan prescribed by their care team, bringing reassurance to patients as they recover at home, automate the collection of patient-reported outcomes, and giving patients access to their own patient-reported outcomes (PROs).
“This collaboration with Oak Valley Health to accelerate their vision of elevating the patient experience and supporting their digital health goals is truly incredible,” said Dr. Joshua Liu, CEO and Co-founder, SeamlessMD. “We’re empowering patients with 24/7 access to evidence-based digital education, enabling care teams to better track patient recovery outside of the hospital to help shorten hospital stays freeing up resources for patients who need in-hospital care.”
