Telehealth Services and Virtual Care

In collaboration with regional health care providers, St. Luke's provides virtual care, also known as telehealth or telemedicine technology, to connect patients and health care professionals in different physical locations. Currently, St. Luke's offers two-way audio-visual encounters to enable remote patient management, virtual acute care, and virtual ambulatory care services, allowing us to extend high quality healthcare services to a broader region and improve health outcomes. Our telehealth and virtual care services include:

  • Remote patient management - virtual daily patient assessment, intervention, and care management in the patient’s home using St. Luke’s provided technology and care teams
  • Virtual acute care services - virtual monitoring of hospitalized patients that supplements in-person care to ensure comprehensive, specialized expertise at the bedside
  • Virtual ambulatory care services - virtual appointments for outpatient primary and specialty care 

We also operate a Virtual Care Center, a high-tech care hub where centralized medical teams use telehealth technology with a human touch to care for patients around-the-clock – when and where they need us.
