Is telemedicine helpful for critically ill patients? Recent studies indicate that a majority of people spend their last days in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) due to a reduction in instantaneous accide... nts and the improvement of palliative care. According to Panlaqui, Broadfield, Champion, Edington, and Kennedy (2017) telemedicine has the potential to reduce the length of stay (LOS) for patients in the high dependency unit. Moreover, it could lead to improved patient outcomes by reducing the costs and risks associated with inter-hospital transfers. Another benefit of local ICUs is the collaboration with specialists who could be located in regional centers. A mind map could be applied to determine the application of telemedicine in the healthcare sector as illustrated in Appendix A. Hospitals need to adopt telemedicine in the ICUs and High Dependency Units (HDUs) to reduce the mortality rate and LOS, which could make healthcare more affordable and efficient.Is telemedicine helpful for critically ill patients?
