About e-ICU
The eICU Program allows our hospital to create a system-wide critical care program, built on a powerful technology infrastructure that improves quality, operating efficiency, and economic performance. The eICU improves the quality of intensive care unit (ICU) care.

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. The eICU care team uses software prompts to track patient vital trends and intervene earlier-before complications occur. 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.
