Patient-Centered Care With Telemedicine
Access TeleCare’s infectious disease specialists turned what was initially diagnosed as a six-week hospital stay into one that lasted just a few days.
The Case
When an elderly man from Massachusetts contracted an infection while on vacation in South Carolina, the local care team initially recommended a six-week course of IV antibiotics that would have kept him away from home for over a month.
The Result
After consulting with Dr. Jade Le, Access TeleCare’s chief of infectious disease, the patient was given an alternative care plan, one that saw him fly home the very next week to recuperate at home with oral antibiotics. The patient then received one final antibiotic IV infusion and was seen by a local infectious disease specialist who confirmed that the infection was gone.
