Virtual care, including real-time data sharing and the ability to interact with the clinical team, can give patients and their families peace of mind and help them to play a proactive role in safely speeding up their own recovery from the comfort of home. 

For the 15th Health IRL, Lygeia Ricciardi chatted live about virtual perioperative care with Shannon Crotwell, a clinical nurse navigator and pioneer in applying this technology from Atrium Health/Perfect Care, and Marc Reid, who recently recovered from cardiac surgery with Shannon’s help.

​

They talked about:

• Which kinds of data Mark collected and shared

• How the data helped Shannon’s team support Mark

• How having access to real-time data and a clinical team from home helped Mark

• Shannon’s advice for other healthcare providers that want to provide pre and post-surgical care at home to their patients
