“We are deeply honored and delighted to receive the FICCI Healthcare Excellence Awards for Digital Innovation for our introduction of Teladoc Health Robots. It is a recognition of our commitment to keep our patients and staff safe using innovative technological solutions from around the world. Covid-19 has been the biggest healthcare challenge of the century and I am glad that our contributions towards effective Covid management have been recognized by a prestigious industry body like FICCI. This would further inspire us to constantly improve patient safety and treatment protocols at our hospital to ensure optimum outcomes,” says Dr. S Gurushankar, Chairman, Meenakshi Mission Hospital, Madurai.
A total of 16 Teladoc Health Robots were deployed at various departments, such as the Covid ICU, Covid Wards, Intensive Respiratory Care Units, Accident & Emergency, Cardiology, and Nephrology.
This allowed doctors to access the patients and their data such as heart rate and temperature, review of MRI, CT scan and X-ray, derma scope, ENT scope, and ultrasonogram as well as importing data from EMR from anywhere, anytime.
Excellence in Healthcare
Moreover, if a patient with multiple complications is being treated, six specialists can connect at the same time to diagnose the health condition. Although there were some challenges with transportation of the Teladoc robots to India and Training doctors and staff to operate the robots, these were efficiently overcome by the organization.
Hence, these contributions have emerged as the definitive recognition for contribution to healthcare based on Innovation, Impact and Sustainability & Scalability, which form the three criteria for evaluation.
Meenakshi Mission Hospital was nominated in two categories for the FICCI Healthcare Excellence Awards, including Excellence in Patient Safety and Digital Innovation in Healthcare.
The Awards also felicitate the organizations and the individuals for their contributions to the industry by innovating for increased efficiency, affordability, and improved performance of healthcare delivery.
