By - Four health systems are launching a program to identify and use telehealth and mHealth tools within the electronic health record to help patients living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health, the Mount Sinai Health System, Cleveland Clinic, Northwestern University Health System and University of California at Davis Health System will be developing an IBD Digital Therapeutics Toolkit to help care providers identify the best connected health treatments that don’t disrupt clinical workflows.
The project aims to develop connected health pathways within the EHR to improve care management and coordination at home, and to use tools like mHealth apps, telemedicine tools and remote patient monitoring platforms to boost care outcomes.
