The remote nurses must set up the equipment at their home. We put together an extensive instruction manual that is included with the work from home (WFJ) package to assist them. Our eICU nurses tend to be very technically friendly and have managed this very well. Once they set up the equipment they communicate with the COR and take a full assignment just like the nurses in the COR. They provide 24/7 monitoring, video rounding, best practice rounding, admission, discharge, intervention of patients they detect are decompensating from the expected trajectory and escalating to the bedside team and intensivist that works in our area.

Hi Cheryl,
Appreciate you sharing your experience with us.
I am curious to know the responsibilities of these eICU nurses.
Thank you!

My eICU nurses work from home. I purchased laptops, monitors, a docking station and web camera for each. I currently have 5 nurses out of 15 working from home at a time (some did not want to participate). They work one month at home than two months in the clinical operations room. That way it gives everyone a chance to take advantage of this model of care. I am presenting a session at the SCCM conference to explain in more depth on Feb 8th at 9am. Come listen or view virtually if you are not there!

Hi group! Are there any eICU's out there who have nurses working remotely? Our facility has shown interest and we wanted to see if anyone else has explored this option!
