Fitness: A Family Affair Technology and Expertise = Outstanding Care With pediatric Emergency Departments and 24/7 on-site pediatrician coverage at Inspira Vineland and Woodbury Medical Centers, parents can rest assured their children will receive age-appropriate, evidence-based care whenever it is needed. Now, thanks to Inspira's partnership with Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, ER physicians and pediatric hospitalists (hospital-based pediatricians) at Inspira Medical Centers Vineland and Woodbury can consult "face-to-face" with specialists at Nemours. The technology also is being introduced at the Vineland campus' David B. Rosenberg, M.D., Children's Care Unit and in the Inspira Medical Center Woodbury's Pediatrics Unit. iPad-based video conference technology also allows Nemours specialists to remotely observe pediatric patients in the Vineland and Woodbury ERs. This ability to "see" the patient can be especially helpful in cases such as respiratory distress and trauma. In some instances, this technology can eliminate the need for a young patient to be transferred. Inspira Health Network continues to raise the quality bar for its pediatric services. " This technology provides a new way for pediatric specialists at Nemours to share their expertise with Inspira physicians. Of course, the young patients and their families are the ones who truly benefit from this sharing of knowledge." — Eric Gibson, M.D., Nemours Director of External Pediatric Specialty Services Inspira Health Network Family & Friends
