ABSTRACT

With the relaxing of telehealth regulations from the HIPAA Waiver for Telehealth Remote Communications during the COVID-19 Nationwide Public Health Emergency notification, our organization had the opportunity to pilot an innovative virtual care solution using a modified consumer grade system (Amazon Echo Show) within one inpatient COVID-19 unit. In this brief report, we describe our experiences with implementing the system, general feedback from clinicians, and discuss areas for future development required to enable future scaling of this solution.
