Integrated Healthcare System01:20

Integrated Healthcare System

An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:
Hospitals-I01:28

Hospitals-I

Hospitals offer medical and surgical care to the sick and injured, along with accommodation while they recover. At the same time, they also provide outpatient, emergency, psychiatric, and rehabilitation services to meet various community needs. In addition to providing medical care, hospitals also act as hubs for medical research and training. Hospitals use clinical procedures and evidence-based practice standards to deliver patient care. To deliver safe and efficient care, a nurse must stay up...
Hospitals-II00:59

Hospitals-II

Hospitals provide inpatient and outpatient services. Inpatient services provide care to patients that stay in the hospital for an extended period, ranging from days to months. Examples of inpatient services include intensive care units, hospital wards, or surgeries. Outpatient services provide care to patients who come to a hospital for a diagnostic or treatment but do not stay overnight —for example, diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, or health education.
Nurses that work in hospitals have...
International Nursing Organizations I01:23

International Nursing Organizations I

International Nursing Organization (ICN) is a global union of national nurses' organizations. Individual nurses can be a part of ICN through member organizations. Each member organization strives to ensure quality nursing care, sound health policies, the advancement of nursing knowledge, respect for the profession, and a satisfied and competent nursing workforce.
ICN member organizations work to advance the field of nursing and healthcare via policies, partnerships, lobbying, professional...

Area of Science:

  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Health Informatics
  • Telemedicine

Background:

  • Critically ill patients require intensive monitoring and specialized care.
  • Traditional intensive care units (ICUs) face challenges with staffing and resource allocation.
  • Telemedicine offers a potential solution to extend critical care expertise.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the delivery models of tele-intensive care unit (tele-ICU) services.
  • To explore alternative approaches in tele-ICU implementation.
  • To summarize the impact of tele-ICU on patient-focused outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Review of published literature on tele-ICU services.
  • Analysis of different tele-ICU delivery models and their components.
  • Synthesis of evidence regarding patient outcomes associated with tele-ICU.

Main Results:

  • Tele-ICU involves off-site clinicians using technology for real-time patient assessment and intervention.
  • Services include detecting instability, ordering tests, making diagnoses, and managing treatments.
  • Published reports indicate tele-ICU has potential benefits for critically ill adult patients.

Conclusions:

  • Tele-ICU services are a promising modality for supporting critically ill adults.
  • The integration of technology and remote expertise can enhance critical care delivery.
  • Further research and implementation are warranted to optimize tele-ICU's impact.
