“…Tele-Critical Care (TCC) can be described as services that link remote services to a recipient at a local site where physical care is provided using audiovisual communication systems [ 1 ]. TCC has been gradually recognized as a valuable means of delivering healthcare services [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]. TCC’s growth has been mostly organic, heterogeneous, and often determined by a few key leaders in the field [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ].…”

“…In this study, the authors investigated unsuccessful programs [ 5 , 9 , 23 ]. Additionally, the timing of this study allowed for the assessment of the early effects of COVID-19 on TCC, even though it was not the primary goal of the survey [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. The survey data will inform TCC stakeholders about the development and design of TCC programs.…”

The study’s objective was to assess facilitators and barriers of Tele-Critical Care (TCC) perceived by SCCM members. By utilizing a survey distributed to SCCM members, a cross-sectional study was developed to analyze survey results from December 2019 and July 2020. SCCM members responded to the survey (n = 15,502) with a 1.9% response rate for the first distribution and a 2.54% response rate for the second survey (n = 9985). Participants (n = 286 and n = 254) were almost equally distributed between non-users, providers, users, and potential users of TCC services. The care delivery models for TCC were similar across most participants. Some consumers of TCC services preferred algorithmic coverage and scheduled rounds, while reactive and on-demand models were less utilized. The surveys revealed that outcome-driven measures were the principal form of TCC performance evaluation. A 1:100 (provider: patients) ratio was reported to be optimal. Factors related to costs, perceived lack of need for services, and workflow challenges were described by those who terminated TCC services. Barriers to implementation revolved around lack of reimbursement and adequate training. Interpersonal communication was identified as an essential TCC provider skill. The second survey introduced after the onset pandemic demonstrated more frequent use of advanced practice providers and focus on performance measures. Priorities for effective TCC deployment include communication, knowledge, optimal operationalization, and outcomes measurement at the organizational level. The potential effect of COVID-19 during the early stages of the pandemic on survey responses was limited and focused on the need to demonstrate TCC value.

“…For example, in Germany, the law on telemedicine has seen rapid adoption, while in Canada new fee codes for virtual care were fast‐tracked. 1 The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education in the US has recognized that institutions and training programs are deploying telemedicine to assist trainees in taking care of patients with Covid‐19 remotely, 89 while the US Food and Drug Administration has cleared a software‐based monitoring platform (Sickbay) that is already used in some ICUs. 28 …”

By drawing on macro‐categories of key human resource (HR) management interventions recommended by the Organization for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) during the Covid‐19 pandemic, this study aimed to explore whether and how Intensive Care Units (ICU) have strengthened their HRs during the first year of Covid‐19 emergency. A rapid review was conducted to provide a quick synthesis of the literature in English identified in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoS), PubMed, and Scopus databases. A total of 68 articles qualified for the final analysis. The findings illustrated that health organisations were often guided by staffing ratios to estimate capacity to care, aimed to modify the scope of practice of providers, redeployed both internal and external staff to ICUs, created and adapted the Covid‐19‐specific staffing models, and implemented technological innovations to provide services to the unprecedented number of patients while protecting the physical and mental health of their staff. The insights of this research should be helpful for health leaders, HR Managers, and policymakers who have faced unprecedented challenges and tough decisions during this emergency. The findings could also inform beyond‐Covid‐19 ICU policies and guide future research.
