Sutter’s electronic ICU (eICU)–the first of its kind on the West Coast (and only the second eICU in the nation)–has supported thousands of patients across our network over the last decade. The expansive telemonitoring program ensures intensive care unit patients in large cities and small towns have 24/7 access to an expert team of doctors and nurses specially trained in the care of ICU patients.
From two central hubs, in Sacramento and San Francisco, these doctors and nurses monitor patients in intensive care units hundreds of miles away, using live interactive video, remote diagnostic tools and other specialized technologies to instantly assess critical changes in a patient’s condition. Our eICU teams partner with intensive care clinicians at 18 Sutter hospitals.
