ORLANDO, Florida – August 7, 2023 – Andor Health, the company that harnesses open AI and healthcare-trained ChatGPT models to orchestrate the way care teams collaborate, is working with the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC Health) to leverage this technology in a decentralized care delivery model. MUSC Health, one of the country’s leading telehealth centers, will leverage ThinkAndor® enterprise-wide to build a next-generation virtual care ecosystem.
ThinkAndor® Virtual Command Center provides a strategic approach that unifies the five pillars of virtual health – Virtual Visits, Virtual Hospital, Virtual Patient Monitoring, Virtual Team Collaboration, & Virtual Community Collaboration. Innovative health systems like MUSC can leverage ThinkAndor® as a platform approach to virtual care to power a decentralized approach to care delivery.
By leveraging ThinkAndor®, MUSC Health will continue its transition from a one-size-fits-most care delivery model to a decentralized approach to care delivery. By shifting toward decentralized care, MUSC will create a more accessible care model that increases access to care and expands care to schools across the state.
“As the state’s only comprehensive academic health system, MUSC Health’s purpose is to preserve and optimize the health of all South Carolinians and we do that by thinking differently and creating new approaches to care delivery,” explained Patrick Cawley, CEO of MUSC Health & Executive Vice President for Health Affairs, University. “By using telehealth wherever and whenever possible, MUSC Health can continue to expand care access in underserved areas of the state while increasing the physical presence of new specialties customized for communities’ needs.”
“To effectively deliver care, health systems must pivot away from traditional care delivery and shift towards new models of care. By implementing ThinkAndor® Virtual Hospital, health systems can leverage AI to support next-generation care capabilities including virtual nursing, virtual sitting, & on-demand specialty consultations at scale,” Raj Toleti, Chairman & CEO of Andor Health.
