Telemedicine Intensive Care
How and Why It’s Efficient, Effective, and Essential
Abstract
State, federal, and commercial payer policies have been enacted to reward organizations who meet the Triple Aim by providing better care, better health, and lower costs. Healthcare organizations have adopted technology with aim to advance the delivery of care. Some of the largest costs incurred in healthcare are associated with the delivery of care in intensive care units (ICUs). Telemedicine intensive care (teleICU) has emerged as a technological advance to improve clinical outcomes by reducing variation and clinical complication in ICU populations. Healthcare organizations are strategically achieving scalable and sustainable teleICU programs with innovative approaches to healthcare delivery by strengthening clinician relationships across telemedicine platforms to ensure efficient and effective resource utilization that is essential in a value-based care environment.
