“When a parent has a child with special health care needs, they should be able to get the necessary care in a timely manner and at an affordable cost, regardless of their location,” Jacob Vigil, Senior Program Associate at The Children’s Partnership, said in a company press release. “The increased use of video conferencing, remote patient monitoring through smart phones, and other technology applications would make it possible for more children to get care they may otherwise go without, right in their own communities. Through expanded outreach to families and providers, and increased incentives for participation, we hope to make this a reality.”
