SCCM Resource Library-Introduction to the NETCCN

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The National Emergency Telecritical Care Network (NETCEN) was developed to support vulnerable hospitals during the pandemic by providing remote critical care expertise, addressing healthcare system inefficiencies exposed by COVID-19. This temporary network rapidly expanded hospital capacity by delivering expertise to areas lacking infrastructure, without needing physical experts or patient transfer. Initiated in 2019 and swiftly deployed nationally, NETCEN utilized mobile devices for communication and streamlined care management. It faced challenges in rapid deployment and acceptance, but successfully supported numerous at-risk communities, overcoming complex integration and acceptance issues during high-demand pandemic peaks.
