You are the chief of staff of a small hospital with a 5 bed ICU. Currently the staffing of the ICU is provided by a 2-man Internal Medicine group. You have concerns for the future as they may decide to stop coverage. Fortunately, you are part of a large hospital network. You investigate the possibility of ICU coverage at night remotely from the larger hub hospital.
- What advice would you give to the CEO, CIO and hospital board regarding the advantages of a VICU (i.e., Virtual-ICU)? What would be the obstacles?
- Conduct a literature search as new articles on this subject are published often
- What IT systems would you have to have in place to make this work? Be specific in your answer.
