TELE-INTENSIVIST

Using two-way audio/video, our virtual health program gives hospitals instant, 24-hour access to board-certified intensivists who can treat patients needing immediate care.

On-Demand Access to Expert Critical Care

There are not enough fellowship-trained critical care physicians to meet current and projected future demand. In fact, the country faces a 30 percent shortfall in its intensivist workforce needs—a problem that will continue to strain critical care services across the country.

Our virtual program health offers access to skilled intensivists who are available around the clock and who can provide advice on advanced critical care decisions.

The tele-intensivist program helps patients get the best possible critical care in the most complex situations. It also could reduce unnecessary transfers, ease stress on local clinicians and help ensure the safety of all patient communities.
