Currently, many healthcare organizations are seeking innovative technology solutions to help combat the surgical backlog due to COVID-19, while also increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare delivery in Ontario. Evidence suggests that the use of Surgical Remote Monitoring technology, such as SeamlessMD, has been proven to increase same-day surgeries and reduce hospital length of stay (LOS), readmission rates, and ED visits.

William Osler Health System (Osler) has partnered with SeamlessMD, a Digital Patient Engagement platform, to help improve patient safety, quality and outcomes for surgery patients.
