GE Healthcare Powers First-of-Its Kind Virtual ICU, Creating Access to Critical Care Specialists throughout State of Oregon
December 16, 2020
“Virtual ICU” (VICU) will extend the critical care expertise of Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) to patients in rural communities, where specialists are not otherwise available.
The VICU provides critical care specialists at OHSU with digital tools to deploy hospital-defined care protocols to remotely identify changes in patient status, respond in real time, and support local clinicians caring for patients in their local communities.
GE Healthcare’s Mural Virtual Care solution seamlessly integrates and embeds into the workflow of the VICU, which eliminates workflow inefficiencies like double documentation in the electronic medical record (EMR); collects and delivers disparate data to clinicians in a single, unified view, and provides real-time analytics and reports to drive continuous improvements and help improve outcomes.
