R-ICU
Tele-ICU is the use of an off-site command center in which a critical care team (intensivists and critical care nurses) is connected with patients in distant ICUs to exchange health information through real-time audio, visual, and electronic means.
Why R-ICU?
Tele ICUs may serve within a hybrid model of care to support high intensity coverage and bridge the gap for nocturnal ICU care . Tele ICU is associated with improved ICU mortality and decreased LOS. It also has the potential for additional benefits, such as enhancing cardiovascular critical care, reducing inter hospital transfers and improving staff satisfaction.
