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.
