Abstract

The article presents a study on the impact of electronic intensive care unit (eICU), a telemedicine system, on patient mortality, length of stay (LOS) and hospital cost. Data were collected from four ICU of two suburban community hospitals in Chicago, Illinois, where eICU was implemented, and include patients 18 years old or older with at least four hours stay in the ICU. It reveals that eICU utilization is not attributed to the reduction in mortality, length of stay or hospital cost.
