Mercy Gilbert Becomes First Skylight Client in the Nation to Introduce Patients to Video Chat
Patients Can Now Video Chat with Family and Friends Directly from Their Hospital Beds
 Earlier this year, Mercy Gilbert Medical Center, a member of Catholic Healthcare West
(CHW), became the first Skylight client hospital in the nation to introduce live video
connection from patients in their Family Birth Center and Palliative
Care Program to family members and friends outside of the hospital.
This new feature called iCareChat™ is a fully integrated add-on to their Skylight ACCESS System.
Earlier this summer, at Mercy Gilbert Medical Center in Gilbert, AZ
where temperatures outside were a scorching 104°F, a new mother
delivered a baby girl. Hours later, the new mom was introducing her
new bundle of joy to the anxiously awaiting grandparents who sat in
their home in Manchester, England, where outside it was a cold and
rainy 61°F. Their home immediately warmed up with smiles and excitement
when they got to see their new granddaughter for the very first time.
