“In response to a shortage of physicians, six rural Maryland hospitals have banded together to implement a remote-monitoring system for patients in their intensive care units.
The hospitals, organized as Maryland eCare, will get video and audio communications, intelligent monitoring and alarm systems in their ICUs. Specialist doctors and nurses in Wilmington, Del., will use the technology to monitor ICU patients. In the event of a change in a patient’s condition, the Delaware specialists will alert the Maryland hospital and suggest corrective action.”
