Olympus (Center Valley, PA) announced that MedPresence, its cloud-based telecollaboration platform, will allow front-line healthcare providers to access much-needed product expertise from manufacturer representatives virtually, which aligns with recent recommendations from leading medical societies and industry groups.
According to AdvaMed, 26 healthcare groups and counting have signed onto the “Return to Procedures” guidance presented by the AHA, AORN, and AdvaMed, which states, “Medical device representatives should work with facilities and providers to deliver services, information, and support remotely whenever possible.”
MedPresence quickly connects those in procedure rooms with medical device representatives, from any hospital vendor, who are needed to support the set-up of medical devices, as well as the selection, use or troubleshooting of devices during the procedure. This can be especially important in complex cases such as those involving implants for orthopedics, cardiology, pulmonology, and interventional radiology.
