Recent research has shown that tele-intensivist coverage, combined with some
in-person intensivist coverage, can reduce mortality by 15-30%. Hospitals with small units may lack the economies of scale necessary to support full-time intensivists for their ICUs. Thus, implementing IPS broadly may require implementing telemedicine IPS at all hospitals that are currently without it. Intercept can provide continuous 24/7 intensivist coverage to augment your on-site staff and guarantee that you meet Leapfrog IPS standards.
