Our Solution:
The eICU® Program is sold to large, multi-hospital health systems
that want to improve the quality of their intensive care unit (ICU) care.
If you can understand how air traffic controllers and onboard technology
for pilots keeps fliers safe, you’ll be able to understand how an
eICU facility keeps patients safe.
ICU patients are very sick and require around-the-clock specialized care,
however most ICUs don’t have the specially trained physicians (intensivists)
available to provide this. With an eICU facility linked via telemedicine
and computer monitors to their hospital ICU rooms they now can. An eICU
facility is staffed with an intensivist-led care team that can monitor
and care for hundreds of patients much like air traffic controllers monitor
hundreds of planes. In an airplane pilots also use on board sensors to
identify problems and intervene to maintain a safe flight. Likewise, the
eICU care team uses software alerts to track patient vital trends and
intervene earlier—before complications occur. Studies show that
this type of care model can reduce ICU mortality by 25% and save costs.
The keys are constant surveillance, providing the patient with immediate
physician access and arming the physician with the patient information
needed to make the right decisions, quickly.
