Virtual ICU Network Plans Expansion
December 13th, 2005 | Published in Company Profiles
Quality Health Systems which operates a virtual ICU at three hospitals in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area is considering expanding its services to other local hospitals.
Quality Health Services officials say they have capacity to add more
hospital beds to their system and that they likely will sell access to
smaller hospitals in southeastern Wisconsin. “We want to identify
interested health care organizations in regional areas that share the
same ideas in value and efficiency of health care services,” said Rick
Born, CEO of Quality Health Services

Each virtual ICU bed is equipped with a camera, speaker and microphone.
Providers at a command center in Menomonee Falls, Wis., monitor
patients and communicate with ICU staff at each hospital.
