Through face-to-face video calls on iPads and other tablets, Henry Ford Health System is initiating the next wave of high-tech communication at its hospitals called "telerounding." The iPad fills a critical need for Henry Ford surgeons like Dr. Craig Rogers -- who perform operations each week at both Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit and Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital -- to communicate with their patients in the clinic or inpatient setting, even when they're not in the same city.
