The patented eICU^® Program allows hospitals to create a system-wide critical care program, built on a powerful technology infrastructure that improves quality, operating efficiency, and economic performance. View Diagram

The eICU Program is sold to 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 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 Program 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.
