  • Title: Telemedicine in the Intensive Care Unit: Improved Access to Care at What Cost?
    Author: Binder WJ, Cook JL, Gramze N, Airhart S.
    Journal: Crit Care Nurs Clin North Am; 2018 Jun; 30(2):289-296. PubMed ID: 29724446.
    Abstract:
    Health systems across the United States are adopting intensive care unit telemedicine programs to improve patient outcomes. Research demonstrates the potential for decreased mortality and length of stay for patients of these remotely monitored units. Financial models and studies point to cost-effectiveness and the possibility of cost savings in the face of abundant startup costs. Questions remain as to the true financial implications of these programs and targeted populations that may see the greatest benefit. Despite recent growth, widespread adoption may be limited until these unknowns are answered.
