SCCM Resource Library-Pro: The NETCCN On-Demand Model Was Successful

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the success and challenges of the NETSEN project, a telecritical care initiative aimed at improving healthcare access, particularly in vulnerable rural areas. The project successfully demonstrated a new model of care, improving access where it was previously lacking. Operating during COVID-19, it supported small, underserved hospitals with no ICU facilities, aiming to balance patient load and support bedside clinicians during stressful times. Despite challenges in quantifying financial and health outcome benefits, the project showed tangible value by addressing gaps in critical care. The project was active in diverse locations, with 30 patients monitored at home, reducing hospital admissions. Costs were compared with traditional disaster medical systems, revealing NETSEN as a more cost-effective alternative. Key learnings include the importance of pre-prepared systems for swift deployment and the need for integrated leadership and stakeholder engagement. NETSEN's foundation has led to further telehealth initiatives, showcasing its potential for future scalability and impact.
