What is LexConnect Telemedicine?
How does LexConnect work?
- LexConnect works like a computer, a phone, a TV, and a diagnostic device, allowing a patient or resident to communicate with a doctor or nurse when they or a member of our clinical team notice a non-emergency change in condition that requires an advanced medical consultation.
- The telehealth system is self-contained on a cart and used in a patient’s room. It will be wheeled in and can be used bedside or wherever is most comfortable for the patient.
- A Lexington nurse calls a remote available advanced practice nurse or a physician to consult with the patient using high definition video and audio systems.
- The LexConnect system is fully integrated with the patient’s Electronic Medical Record (EMR), so the consulting doctor or nurse will have access the current change in condition notes, as well as other clinical information from the health records, during the telemedicine consultation.
- An integrated FDA approved stethoscope send diagnostic quality cardiac, respiratory, and bowel sounds to the remote nurse practitioner or physician.
- Upon completion of the telemedicine assessment, the nurse practitioner or physician can order labs or medications and communicate other clinical instructions for our nursing team, so our patients get the care they need, when they need it, day or night.
