SCCM Resource Library-Is It Time to Redefine Standard of Care in a Virtual World?

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker discusses the challenges of establishing a standard of care for telecritical care. They highlight the need to determine what can be done remotely and how to manage patient care from a distance. The speaker notes that telemedicine has become increasingly popular, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, and that both patients and clinicians have found it to be positive and liberating. However, questions remain about how to regulate and credential telemedicine providers and how to ensure patient satisfaction and safety. The speaker also addresses the importance of equity of access and the potential for telecritical care to bring standard care to underserved areas. They discuss the need for further research, improved medical-legal frameworks, and better reimbursement methods. The speaker suggests the formation of a telecritical care section within the Society of Critical Care Medicine as a way to advance the field and develop standardized practices and accreditation processes. They highlight ongoing efforts, including the Telecritical Care Collaborative Network and the development of best practice recommendations.
