The health system is scaling up its existing partnership with telehealth service provider Advanced ICU Care, as the Lake Wales location will join several other AdventHealth hospitals that have telehealth-enabled ICUs. The partnership involves remote inpatient telemetry monitoring in addition to virtual ICU services.
“AdventHealth Lake Wales is pleased to partner with Advanced ICU Care for tele-ICU services that provide critical support to our frontline clinical teams in the ICU,” Kulmeet Kundlas, MD, chief of staff at AdventHealth Lake Wales, said in an Oct. 6 news release.
According to the news release, the new virtual ICU implementation will aid AdventHealth Lake Wales in achieving the health system’s three-tiered care goal to reduce mortality rates, support bedside care providers and improve its use of data to better support best practice compliance.
