ED uses 'Virtual ICU' to improve patient care.
The use of remote monitoring and patient consultation can ease the caseload burden of your staff, improve the flow of resuscitative therapies, and help relieve the pressure on other departments in the hospital. * You can use technology and additional off-site staff to monitor progress of sepsis care, glucose control, and blood pressures. * Off-site intensivists also can serve as back-up by responding to staff requests to review steps they have taken in patient care. * Patients who otherwise would have been admitted into the intensive care unit may be resuscitated and discharged directly from the ED.
