New Virtual Intensive Care Unit Simultaneously Improves Patient Care A In march 2020, it launched a comprehensive virtual icu system that utilizes specifically tailored remote clinical surveillance and data analytics platforms as well as interactive video conferencing. The covid 19 pandemic has necessitated a rapid increase of space in highly infectious disease intensive care units (icus). at houston methodist hospital (hmh), a virtual intensive care unit (vicu) was used amid the covid 19 outbreak.
New Virtual Intensive Care Unit Simultaneously Improves Patient Care A Background: the covid 19 pandemic has necessitated a rapid increase of space in highly infectious disease intensive care units (icus). at houston methodist hospital (hmh), a virtual intensive care unit (vicu) was used amid the covid 19 outbreak. In early 2020, houston methodist hospital (hmh) launched its tele critical care program called virtual icu, or vicu, to improve its icu staffing efficiency while providing high quality, continuous access to in person and virtual intensivists and critical care nurses. Patients wear a biobutton®, a multi parameter wearable, to collect their vital signs every minute, leveraging technology to provide the best quality care. The virtual icu (vicu) provides continuous intensivist coverage for houston methodist’s 300 icu beds. the vicu is a remote monitoring center that captures real time physiological data and uses predict analytic tools to rapidly identify critical risk factors and anticipate patient decompensation.

In the healthcare domain, transition to new technology could be challenging. in the current study, we explore technology readiness, acceptance, and its impact on clinicians' mental health before and after the implementation of the vicu technology. The global pandemic motivates houston methodist hospital to roll out a virtual icu. using software that collects and analyzes data and uses ai at the edge, clinicians can treat patients while reducing exposure to infectious disease. The virtual intensive care unit (vicu) utilizes a remote team of experienced critical care nurses to offer supplemental, heightened, and continuous observation of critically ill patients using high resolution cameras and two way audiovisual equipment. Among other virtual care programs developed by the organization’s innovation center, houston methodist has incorporated a virtual icu and virtual observation in the inpatient setting.
