Video Summary

In this video, Lizzie Skruth, the Northern California Kaiser Permanente Regional Director for Clinical Quality Programs, discusses the use of tele-ICU to treat high-acuity conditions such as burns, infections, and respiratory failure. She discusses the evidence supporting the use of tele-critical care, including shorter hospital stays and lower mortality rates. Skruth highlights the disparities in access to critical care in the United States and the potential benefits of tele-ICU in reducing these disparities. She also discusses specific examples of tele-ICU implementation, such as Spain's teleburns platform, and the use of technology in respiratory management, including the monitoring of ventilated patients. Skruth concludes by outlining future steps for expanding telecritical care within Kaiser Permanente.
