- Three years ago Clarian heath instituted the electronic monitoring of its ICU patients. IT stated the Adult and neuroscience critical cares at Methodist. A year later University hospital’s Medical, Surgical, Neurosurgical, and Progressive care Units were gradual added The ICU’s at the North and West locations were the first contracted hospitals. Within the year we will ass the New transplant and Oncology units at University hospital. This year we will also contract out to hospitals in northern Indiana. NASA scientists help developed this technology while monitoring astronauts. The future may bring telemedicine as part of routine home care for out patients. I Just want to toot some the contributions of the space program for medicine Programmable pacemakers, Implant defibrillators, Joint replacement technology. Voice activated wheel chairs Insulin pumps and Blood sugar analysis and cancer therapies.
- The complexity of the ICU environment and the shortage of trained physicians initiated this the typed of “managed” care. To mount a response and enhance patient care the bedside nurse can now mobilize resources from unseen nurses and physicians. The staffing models were to improve hospital quality and safety for the critically ill. The nursing shortage of 1980’s spurred research on patient outcomes among different health providers. They were retrospective studies of hospitalized patients who experienced adverse events that led to complications. The focus of this search showed the need for comprehensive and precise collaborations to rescue the patient. Timely interventions in preventing deaths are dependent upon the bedside nurse’s diligent surveying of the patient’s alterations in normal responses to clinical management. Nurses are often the first to detect early signs of possible complications their vigilance makes timely responses more likely (Clarke &, Aiken 2003).
- Tele Latin distance Medicine mederi healing We use the term telemedicine rather than tele health because tele health is more a descriptive of the technology. Telemedicine uses a variety of disciplines to administer heath. The age of manage care has limited access with early discharges, decreased community agencies
- Benner states, “Where good communication exist between doctors and nurses and collaborative interactions prevail, flexibility increases and the patient benefit” (Benner, 2001, p. 144). Benner’s conclusion notes that the influencing factor to benefit our patients is the staff’s adaptability. The changing environment in the intensive care unit (ICU) is beginning to include a one-way camera and push button access to another human relationship via the remote audio and visual monitoring of a telemedicine unit (TMU). Technology is providing the bedside nurse with a safety net to aid in the perception and detection of changes. Communicating changing alterations in the patient’s health status provides a safe plan of care. What does the bedside nurse say about adapting to this telecommunications technology?

The equipment allows for increased contacts with the patient but creates controversy regarding liability responsibility. Is it the consulting or treatment physician. The current legal trend is putting responsibility on the physician with most physical contact .

- This study will be looking existing data only as it relates to the 443 responses to the two open-ended questions to evaluate trends and categorize responses regarding advantages and disadvantages for the nurse practicing at the bedside. Comments were tallied to establish a list of the advantages and disadvantages. Five main viewpoints from the bedside nurse perspective were developed.
- Telemedicine Consultations .Lack of access to physicians was a priority to address for the nurse because it eliminate leaving the patient to page and then wait for a return call. They felt it tackle their need to be available to the patient when they were unable to access an attending physician. The fast response and medical availability relieved their frustrations when they could not get a physician response or determine whom to call. While they preferred to speak to the attending, the telemedicine unit provides quick non-critical miscellaneous orders. The ability to obtain orders was seen by some as a reason to extend the hours into the day shift. For the nightshift the push button access was consider an easy back up when patient problems need responders. Nurse felt it was difficult for them consulting an “e-physician” who had no knowledge of the patient’s background. Further, the e-physician may send orders regarding the patient that the bedside had not addressed. Such orders did not always accompany accurate notification hindering actions at the bedside. Nurse Consultants The tele-nurses monitoring patients around the clock and were considered professional and courteous. Staff was appreciative of their availability, readiness to assist, and their strong clinical backgrounds. Staff concerns were in confidence of a nurse monitoring an ICU specialty that did not match previous clinical experience. The bedside felt each tele-nurse should be educated to the specific patient population. Surveillance The enhanced level of monitoring was seen as an advantage since it allowed the patient to be watched when the nurse was away from the bedside. “It’s like having an extra pair of eyes especially when I am spread thin”. The greatest advantage was visual surveillance when unit demands were high. The operational aspects of the equipment were disruptive to the nurse at the bedside. Common complaints were the bell to announce the tele-nurses activation of the camera was too loud, did not always work or it disturbed the patient. Nurse also wanted two-way monitoring to see who was addressing them and identifying patient issues. Further bedside wanted the nurse behind the camera to always announce him or herself and state their purpose for entering the room. Emergent/Patient Safety Help when no one was around was due to a faster physician response. Patients received better care during emergencies was a common conclusion. Emergency response for a coding patient allowed immediate treatment orders; again, the nurses wanted to be sure to receive written notification sent. In addition, the tracking of done by the monitoring unit was seen as patient safety. The nurse expressed relief that someone was keeping “up on things”. Some expressed relief in having a convenient support to follow the physiological trends and maintain a comprehensive view of the patient. Patient Collaborations Providing communications that are more effective was the primary disadvantage expressed by the bedside nurse. Relaying of the information they already had or not getting information to them earlier troubled the bedside nurse. The phone calls for gathering patient data interrupted the management of clinical issues and interaction with patient’s families. A telemedicine advantage was a resource of information. Researching a disease, sending information or a medication, and trouble-shooting equipment were helps to the bedside nurse.
