Virtually Perfect? Telemedicine for Covid-19

Virtual ED for stroke patients

Within e-ICU or upon ER arrival, patient is isolated and given a tablet to engage in secure web conference communication with a clinician. 

Two-tablet approach

By employing MIH-CP programs to undergo evaluation before/ during transport to the ED, sick patients can be delivered directly to a hospital bed, which reduces potential spread of SARS-CoV-2 between the community, clinicians, and patients.
