Telemedicine

Telemedicine brings medical services to patients - and assistance to care providers - at a moment’s notice. Using HIPAA-compliant video conferencing tools, The Laurels of Kent, in partnership with Theoria Medical/5-Star Telemed, offers an integrated telemedicine model for guests in which the medical staff in our facility works remotely with Theoria medical professionals to provide care instantly and efficiently.

Benefits of Telemedicine

• Reduced Return-to-Hospital Rates
  • Unnecessary transfers to hospitals decrease dramatically with this expanded access to care, limiting the risk of infections and other complications.
  • Theoria Medical’s patients see a return-to-hospital rate on average of just 7%.
• Better Patient Outcomes
  • Laurel nursing staff can contact Theoria medical professionals 24/7. Patients are seen immediately for any acute issues, and all parties work to coordinate care effectively and proficiently.
  • Combining electronic medical records, AI diagnosis and medical streaming devices under one umbrella assists in diagnosis and treatment.
• Reduced Risk of Transmission
  • The spread of disease is reduced as individuals with contagious diseases don’t have to expose others in crowded waiting rooms.
