”This definitely helps to integrate family and patient satisfaction and interaction, so it doesn’t matter where grandparents, aunts and uncles are. They can log on, mom can give them access and they can log on from anywhere and be able to view baby,” said Kristin Alexander, a registered nurse and patient care coordinator.

With COVID-19 and hospital visitation limitations, this will provide some ease to families.

The system also allows for nurses to communicate with parents and send messages.

It’s a good way to help the mom feel involved if the baby is in NICU.

SGMC officials said they are the only hospital in the surrounding area to offer this technology.

The system goes live on Jan. 27.
