Medanta group of hospitals, in association with medical technology major GE HealthCare, has announced the launch of Tele-ICU services in India as Medanta e-ICU project, with a vision to nurture ‘superspeciality based critical care practices’.
The association aims to transform healthcare delivery and address the existing gaps in critical care, with high level knowledge transfer via 24×7 Medanta e-ICU Command Centre, powered by cutting edge technology from GE HealthCare that equips both central and bedside medical teams.
The Command Centre was inaugurated by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath. This medical-technical platform will provide a near real-time patient monitoring, even during the odd hours like midnight, enabling early patient interventions. As a result of this fusion, the decision-making ability of an ICU can bring extraordinary results in clinical outcomes.
The Command Centre aids direct integration of hospitals systems to devices, enabling increased efficiency, greater collaboration, enhanced patient care, and a reduction in cost of care, as per the statement by the hospital. Medanta will support the service delivery with the help of a closed super specialised critical care medicine team at the command centre, applying globally accepted best practices.
Dr Naresh Trehan, Chairman & Managing Director, Medanta said, “Infrastructural gaps in critical care are more pronounced with limited resources in districts and smaller towns. Through this association with GE HealthCare, we aim to offer valuable lifesaving digital/tele-ICU services.”
“Our mission is to bring quality care to every citizen in India. With this association, we are combining our proven precision technology with expert clinical knowledge from Medanta to help break the barriers of access and cost; and contribute to better patient care and improved outcomes across all of India”, said Chaitanya Sarawate, President & CEO, GE HealthCare South Asia and Managing Director, Wipro GE Healthcare.
