SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Grand Rounds, the leader in matching patients with high-quality physicians, and Children's Hospital of Wisconsin today announced a strategic agreement that will extend Children's Hospital of Wisconsin's world-class care through remote consultations and access to in-person visits. The agreement will effectively use technology, data-driven insights and innovative solutions to offer Children's Hospital of Wisconsin's specialized care to more patients across the United States.
According to Grand Rounds research, more than 1 in 4 (28 percent) of people surveyed admit to not knowing where to find a qualified medical specialist for a specific illness or disease. Children's Hospital of Wisconsin will partner with Grand Rounds to provide high-quality care to pediatric patients and their families across the country. Using 7 billion data points, Grand Rounds has assessed over 96% of practicing physicians in the United States to identify the highest quality pediatricians.
"Whether and where to receive medical care is one of the most important decisions we make as health care consumers," said Dr. Lawrence "Rusty" Hofmann, co-founder of Grand Rounds. "This is especially important in complex pediatric cases where access to high-quality pediatric care varies greatly across regions. Our collaboration with Children's Hospital of Wisconsin will expand access to world-class care for pediatric patients and their families nationwide."
