Access TeleCare’s telePulmonary care helps hospitals retain ICU patients locally by giving bedside teams access to specialty expertise for complex pulmonary and critical care cases. With virtual intensivist support, hospitals can manage more high-acuity patients, reduce unnecessary transfers, strengthen ICU performance, and keep patients closer to their families and community when clinically appropriate. In one Access TeleCare case study, a hospital reduced transfers by 15 percent, retained 144 additional patients annually, and achieved a 257 percent estimated ROI after implementing telePulmonary and Critical Care coverage.
