Tele-Critical Care

How does it work?

• The hospital is provided their choice of various robot for their ICU.
• The critical care physician can beam in to the robot for rounds, to see patients, talk to families, etc.
• In case of emergency, a physician will always be available within 5 minutes, and typically in less than 2 minutes.
• Rounds with nursing staff are performed at least once every shift
• We strongly believe in the value of multi-disciplinary rounds and perform them at many hospitals
• The critical care physician communicates with other physicians to coordinate the care of the patient

More about Tele-Critical Care

The founding member of this organization is an Intensivist. Through his efforts, Dr. Jeffrey Sadowsky has set up the premier Tele-Critical Care organization in the United States.

ICUs are challenged with providing appropriate coverage and continuity of care for every patient and every situation. With our Critical Care Solution, Intensivists can remotely manage and triage patients, driving better outcomes such as reducing mortality by 15-30%* and reducing patient length of stay by up to 19%.

​Tele-ICU is a transformational program that uses proactive technology and two-way audiovisual communication to enable Intensivists, critical care nurses, and other critical care team specialists to collaborate in order to provide remote ICU care. Some hospitals use Tele-ICU to gain access to Intensivists; others use the service for an additional layer of critical care support. System alerts produced by sophisticated algorithm software inform remote Tele-ICU physicians and nurses of important trends in patient condition, enabling proactive clinical decision making and early identification of potential problems.
