Abstract:
Sepsis is a life-threatening infection that affects over 1.7 million Americans annually. Sepsis patients in low-volume rural hospitals die more often, and emergency department-based real-time video telemedicine has been one promising strategy for improving rural sepsis care. This study evaluates the impact of telemedicine consultation on sepsis care and outcomes in rural sepsis patients. The TELEvISED study is conducted in 25 rural hospitals that participate in a mature rural telemedicine network. Patients for whom telemedicine is used will be compared with those for whom it is not used to measure the effect on mortality, hospital length-of-stay and secondary outcomes including quality of care and severity of illness.
