Article Synopsis
- The Telecritical Care Collaborative Network aimed to establish best practice recommendations for delivering critical care through telehealth technologies, addressing the variability and lack of evidence in the field.
- Using a modified Delphi methodology, an oversight panel developed and refined 79 practice statements based on expert feedback across three voting rounds, achieving consensus on 78 statements.
- The recommendations cover ten core domains, including care delivery models and staffing, emphasizing that effective telecritical care is best provided by specialized care teams and well-structured programs.
