Facilitated Telemedicine Visits at a Children’s Mercy Regional Outreach Clinic

Children’s Mercy has Facilitated Telemedicine visits where the patient goes to a Children’s Mercy regional outreach clinic for the appointment.   This type of Telemedicine visit is used when a provider needs to do a more in-depth physical exam than what can be done during a Telehealth patient home visit.

  • Meet with a Telemedicine nurse. They will run the equipment and help with communication between you and the provider.
  • The provider is somewhere else and joins the appointment using a robot.
  • The robot has a camera that the nurse uses to let the provider examine the patient just like when seeing the patient in person.
  • A handheld camera that helps the provider to see things up close – like the skin, nose, or throat.
  • An otoscope to look in the ears.
  • A stethoscope that lets the provider listen to lungs, heart, and stomach.
