What Role Does Telemedicine Play in Emergency Care?

What Role Does Telemedicine Play in Emergency Care?

The emergency care segment of a hospital is considered to be the busiest section in the center. According to a report by CDC, almost 42 people, amongst 100, tend to visit urgent-care rooms yearly. Amongst them, around 63% are between the age of 18 to 65.

Hence, tackling an emergency care infrastructure’s environment is, by no means, an easy feat. To do so, a healthcare center will need a set of competent doctors and an efficient system. This is where telemedicine comes in.

Tele-ICU can increase the speed of treating critical patients to a massive extent. A report suggests that almost 42,000 nursing rounds were completed within a small amount of time due to this infrastructure.

Besides, 479 beds were also covered instantaneously due to Tele-ICU’s advanced monitoring system.

However, that’s not the only way how telemedicine can be beneficial for a hospital. There’s more to it. So, let’s learn about them!

Decreases Mortality Rate

As mentioned before, a Tele-ICU infrastructure usually features a high-end audio-visual system. With it, the doctors can review their patient’s health from a remote place and offer suggestions whenever required. Thus, it becomes easier for them to avoid severe complications that may result in the death of an individual. According to a study, Tele-ICU can reduce the overall mortality rate of a healthcare center by almost 29%.

Decreases the Risk of Doctor Burnout Syndrome

Working in a critical care unit can be extremely stressful, especially if you have to tackle more than one patient. Due to this reason, sometimes, the physicians have to overwork, which, in turn, leads to the emergence of burnout syndrome. As per reports, almost 42% of physicians experience burnout regularly. Amongst them, almost 51% were female. However, this issue can be solved by implementing a Tele-ICU system. With this technology, the doctors would not have to make rounds routinely to check up on their patients. This way, the glaring amount of burnout issues can be reduced by 35%.
