Of all healthcare systems, intensive care units have the highest mortality, cost, and need for multiprofessional teams; however, there are significant gaps between availability and the demand for staff and resources. Telecritical care (TCC) was introduced to bridge this gap and was initially used on an ad hoc basis. Over time, models of care have emerged to establish a framework for the type and scope of care provided by remote teams. The rapid growth of TCC has now outpaced evidence-based research defining terminology, value, processes, and outcomes, making it imperative to look back and review existing research.

Critical Connections, the critical care industry’s only newsmagazine, provides information on cutting-edge topics in critical care useful to the entire multiprofessional team."
