What is a tele intensivist?

A Tele Intensivist is a critical care physician who provides remote care for ICU patients using telemedicine technology. They monitor patients, interpret data, collaborate with bedside teams, and make real-time treatment decisions through audio-video communication and electronic health records. This role helps extend ICU coverage, improve patient outcomes, and support hospitals with limited intensivist availability. Tele Intensivists work from a remote location but provide continuous critical care expertise.
