Omnicure powers U.S. Government's National Emergency Tele-Critical Care Network (NETCCN)

SEATTLE, Sept. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- As the Covid-19 pandemic swept across the globe, ICUs and hospitals reached and exceeded capacity. Typical transfer patterns were disrupted, leaving bedside providers to deal with an influx of cases beyond their typical scope of practice. In response, the U.S. government set out to develop a program to bring timely and effective assistance to overwhelmed medical facilities. The result was the National Emergency Tele-Critical Care Network (NETCCN), which has been operationalized in numerous regions over the past year, supporting hospitals during surges of Covid-19 patients. Omnicure, one of the technology solutions powering the NETCCN initiative, has made it possible for intensivists to provide remote support to facilities ranging from large health systems to rural critical access hospitals, improving patient outcomes and reducing the need to transfer.

Omnicure is a telemedicine company that provides a comprehensive technology solution for bedside providers to collaborate with remote specialists to improve patient care. The nimble and innovative system has brought support to overwhelmed bedside providers in Washington, Idaho, North Dakota, Minnesota, Missouri, Florida, and Georgia. The network of remote experts includes critical care physicians (intensivists) as well as other types of specialists and providers.

Thanks to the extensive resources of NETCCN, any hospital undergoing a crisis can receive support at no cost. Together, Omnicure and NETCCN are defining the future of medical disaster response.
