Tele-ICU Benefits
 The unprecedented COVID-19 
pandemic has offered a stark 
reminder, if one were needed, of the 
unique advantages of telemedicine – 
and tele-ICU services in particular.
 The pandemic has shown that tele-ICU 
services can help hospitals effectively 
overcome the national shortage of 
intensivist, continue to provide 
exceptional critical care even during 
the most challenging of times.
 As the number of COVID-19 patients 
increase, the tele-ICU technology will 
allow Northwell to increase its number 
of ICU beds from 170 to 420.
Experts Thought On Tele-ICU
 One person sitting in a Tele-ICU center can 
take care of 50 to 100 beds,” said Saurabh 
Chandra, medical director of telehealth 
services at the health system.
 According to the article, Swedish Health 
System in Seattle used tele-ICU technology to 
limit healthcare workers’ exposure to COVID-
19 – including their intensivists – and to keep 
people out of the hospital.
 Elizabeth Meade, the medical director of 
pediatric quality and safety at Swedish, said 
that of all the programs in place to help 
mitigate provider shortages at Swedish, she 
thinks “the tele-ICU capacity is the most 
important one at this time.”
