Covid-19: Connected Care – MedicalExpo e-Magazine
Located on a suburban street in downtown Tacoma, a few blocks from the frigid waters of Puget Sound in Washington state, CHI Franciscan’s Virtual Hospital has much in common with other healthcare facilities. It has a small army of nurses and other caregivers, engaged on a daily basis caring for the sick and infirm—monitoring vital signs, reading medical charts, recording information, and chatting with patients. It has a cafeteria. It even has an intensive care unit.
