How Tele-ICU Reduces Cost in ICU
2
Transformation in the field of Telemedicine

• Telemedicine has transformed the dynamics of
  critical care in the early 1960s.
• According to American Telemedicine
  Association(ATA), Telemedicine is defined as the
  use of medical information exchanged from one
  site to another via electronic communications to
  improve patient clinical health status.
• A research study states that about 6 million
  patients are being treated in the Intensive Care
  Units (ICU) each year in the United States.

Clinical Decision Support

• In Intensive Care Units (ICU), intensivist and
  their care teams must be prepared to respond
  promptly and judiciously at any moment and save
  lives.
• According to Leapfrog Group Survey results, ICU
  Physician Staffing (IPS) has huge impact on the
  mortality rate and Average Length Of Stay among
  ICU patients.
• A Tele-ICU system delivers clinical decision
  support resulting in better patient care with
  higher probability of faster recovery.

Resource Management

• Intensivists are the lifeline of an Intensive
  Care Unit (ICU).
• A research study reports that only 10-15 of the
  hospitals in the country employ full-time
  intensivists.
• Intercept TeleMed supports off-site intensivist
  staffing leading to reduced ICU care costs and
  higher returns for hospitals.
• Equipped with one intensivist and three critical
  care nurses to provide care for about 150 ICU
  beds simultaneously across multiple locations.
• On the downside, intensivists experience burn
  out more often than their colleagues while their
  work-life balance gets affected due to stress and
  irregular work hours.

Patient-centered Technology

• Patient experience is evolving owing to
  patient-centered technologies like Tele-ICU
• Intercept TeleMeds IoT-enabled Smart Alerts
  engine alerts intensivists and critical care
  providers in the ICUs when the patient vital
  signals deviates from a set of predefined
  criteria based on clinical evidence.
• Tele ICU proves to be a promising technology
  solution for critical care delivery beyond
  boundaries of time zones and geographical
  locations soon.
