Consumerism is changing the way healthcare is being delivered

Patients now value convenience as much as quality and cost. This is a large reason why health systems like Nemours Children’s Health, a pediatric health system, invest in telehealth platforms.

Because they are a pediatric health system, “consumers” mean the patient as well as the parents. Nemours conducted market research through kidshealth.org, which is the most visited website in the world for children’s health information, and powered by Nemours. The results of this research helped determine the key functionalities and design of their telehealth program, including:

  • A platform that could be white-labeled with the trusted Nemours brand
  • Capability to integrate with Epic EHR
  • Work within a scheduling system
  • Ability to perform real-time eligibility checks

“American Well’s platform is so easy for families and providers to use; it was a natural fit for Nemours.”

“Nemours puts patients and families at the center of everything we do, so as we started to think about providing care virtually it was absolutely essential that we still be able to deliver that type of patient and family-centered care. American Well’s platform is so easy for families and providers to use; it was a natural fit for Nemours. American Well continues to be the innovative leader in the telehealth space and continues to adopt to our changing needs.”
