Description

Product Description:

Critical care units often face significant bottlenecks, with patients experiencing long waits for limited ICU beds. Studies indicate that nearly half of the patients admitted to ICUs could be adequately managed in less intensive settings. These delays not only increase morbidity and mortality rates but also escalate healthcare costs. Equum Medical’s Tele-Critical Care Services provide an innovative solution to these challenges by offering comprehensive, remote critical care coverage.

Our services include both episodic and round-the-clock ICU coverage through telehealth consultations and management. By leveraging advanced telehealth technology, we help standardize workflows and protocols, guiding house staff and hospitalists through critical procedures. This approach ensures consistency in care delivery, improving patient outcomes and operational efficiency.

Equum Medical’s Tele-Critical Care Services extend beyond the ICU, enhancing critical care support in the emergency department (ED) as well. This ensures that high-acuity patients receive the appropriate level of care from the moment they arrive, significantly reducing adverse events and shortening lengths of stay. By integrating our services, hospitals can optimize patient flow, minimize ICU overcrowding, and enhance overall patient safety and satisfaction.

Our tele-critical care model allows healthcare providers to manage high-acuity patients more effectively, ensuring timely interventions and reducing the strain on ICU resources. By providing expert critical care support remotely, Equum Medical helps hospitals deliver high-quality care to patients, regardless of their location. This innovative approach not only addresses current critical care challenges but also sets the stage for a more resilient and efficient healthcare system.

Product Capabilities

eVisit offers multiple patient digital front door options to request and join a virtual visit. eVisit can integrate into existing patient portals, patients can login to eVisit with SSO, or patients can access a quick (customizable) intake form (from a QR code, button on an organization's website, etc.). The experience does not require an app download. eVisit also offers multiple clinician digital front door options to join a virtual visit with a patient. Clinicians can login to eVisit via SSO and schedule a virtual visit directly with their patients, or create an on-demand visit link. eVisit can also be embedded into an existing EHR so clinician's can join a visit with the patient using a SMART on FHIR launch. During the visit, users are also able to distribute a visit link to loved-ones.

Using eVisit, healthcare organizations can customize their patient intake questions as well as capture reportable patient responses and digital acknowledgements. eVisit's Virtual Triage Center (VTC) serves as the command center for healthcare organizations and queues all virtual visit requests. The VTC displays relevant data points to create situational awareness in managing the queue of patients. These data points include a patient’s total wait time, language spoken, current status, contact information, visit type, patient location, and more! The VTC data points can be customized, filtered, and sorted based on what data organizations would like to capture/show. This allows clinical users to be more efficient in prioritizing requests that may be coming from multiple locations and easily identify requests that still need to be assigned to a provider. Patients and Clinicians can receive email/text notifications and reminders about the visit. Before joining a visit, patients and clinicians can chat and upload documents/images. They will also be placed in a virtual lobby where they can check their mic, video, and network connection.

eVisit offers HIPAA-compliant video connection with the ability to switch to phone/audio or dial directly into the visit. During the virtual visit, users can invite other clinicians, loved-ones, or third-party interpreters to streamline communication and improve the patient experience. Both patients and clinicians can control if they would like to turn on or off their video and when on a mobile device, flip their camera view. For inpatient workflows, clinicians can control PTZ cameras during the visit. eVisit also supports file sharing, screen sharing, and group chat. After the visit has ended, patients and clinicians can submit their visit feedback.

eVisit can be embedded into an existing EHR so clinician's can leverage existing patient demographics and medical information to launch a virtual visit from the patient record/encounter. All documentation is captured back within the patient's EHR record/encounter. eVisit also supports photo integration and can push after visit summaries to the patient portal.

eVisit’s billing solution ensures a seamless process for patients, minimizing administrative burdens on organizations. Our system supports various payment methods, including debit, credit, HSA, and insurance, ensuring timely and accurate billing for telehealth services. eVisit offers real-time eligibility (RTE) during patient intake for better price transparency.

Our technical support operations consist of Technical Solution Analysts who assist patients, healthcare providers, and organizations overcome technology obstacles related to their virtual care offering. They are responsible to review, analyze, and monitor video connectivity and performance, diagnose network issues, and intervene in real-time through phone, chat, and email/ticket support to resolve technical issues.

eVisit partners with multiple staffing organizations to provide supplementary clinician coverage across a breadth of virtual care workflows. eVisit ensures that these staffing organizations stay up-to-date on product functionality.

eVisit offers descriptive analytics and provides advanced data reporting capabilities. This includes: 1. Individual visit reports that can provide indicators of technical barriers, telehealth demand, clinician adoption, and patient experience metrics. User and practice reports are an extension of the visit data. Having an understanding of where patients encounter wait times and reasons visits are canceled, allows your organization to improve staffing models and reduce patient drop off rate. 2. Platform activity reports to monitor provider logins/logouts, status changes, calls taken, and report access attempts. This gives visibility to technical barriers to programmatic success and allows target resolution when issues arise. 3. Patient Financial Information reports to track payment and visit charge information. 4. Terms and agreements reports to track patient consent. Additionally, eVisit offers diagnostic analytics by collaborating with organizations and leveraging third-party data to derive meaningful insights and projected economic value from implementing a virtual care program.

Use Cases

Description:

Critical care units often face significant challenges in managing patient flow and ensuring timely access to specialized care. Limited ICU bed availability and a shortage of intensivists contribute to higher morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Equum Medical's Tele-Critical Care services, including eICU and Tele-ICU, provide innovative solutions to these challenges by leveraging telehealth technology to extend critical care expertise to patients regardless of their physical location.

eICU and Tele-ICU Services:

Equum Medical's eICU and Tele-ICU services offer continuous remote monitoring and management of ICU patients by board-certified intensivists and critical care nurses. These services enable real-time patient monitoring, expert consultations, and collaborative care, enhancing the capacity of ICU units and improving patient outcomes.

Use Case 1: Managing ICU Bed Shortages

A community hospital with a limited number of ICU beds often struggles to accommodate high-acuity patients, leading to long wait times and increased patient transfers. By implementing Equum Medical's Tele-ICU services, the hospital can provide remote intensivist coverage for patients awaiting ICU beds. This service ensures that patients receive critical care interventions promptly, reducing the risk of adverse events and optimizing the use of available resources. Remote intensivists can guide on-site staff through complex procedures, manage patient care plans, and make timely decisions to improve patient outcomes.

Use Case 2: Enhancing Care in Rural Hospitals

A rural hospital with no full-time intensivist faces challenges in providing high-quality critical care. Equum Medical's eICU services enable the hospital to offer expert critical care support remotely. Intensivists monitor patients' vital signs, review medical records, and collaborate with the on-site team to manage critical cases effectively. This service enhances the hospital's ability to provide comprehensive care, reducing the need for patient transfers to larger facilities and ensuring that patients receive timely, specialized care close to home.

Use Case 3: Supporting Surge Capacity During Pandemics

During the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals experienced unprecedented surges in critically ill patients, overwhelming ICU capacities. Equum Medical's Tele-ICU services provided essential support by extending the reach of intensivists to multiple hospitals simultaneously. This service allowed hospitals to manage higher patient volumes, ensuring that all patients received appropriate critical care without compromising quality. Tele-ICU services facilitated efficient resource allocation, reducing clinician burnout and improving overall patient outcomes during the crisis.

Use Case 4: Integrating Multidisciplinary Care Teams

A tertiary care hospital seeks to enhance its ICU services by integrating a multidisciplinary approach to patient care. Equum Medical's eICU platform enables seamless collaboration between remote intensivists, on-site specialists, and nursing staff. This integrated approach ensures that patients benefit from a comprehensive care plan that addresses all aspects of their condition. The eICU platform supports real-time data sharing and communication, facilitating informed decision-making and improving patient care coordination.
