“Our Goal Is Simple, Putting People First In Everything We Do” ICUcare is a health information systems software developer and telemedicine/telehealth solutions provider. ICUcare is committed to applying innovative and technologically advanced solutions to the health care industry.

Advancements in medical technology are improving the quality of care and at the same time reducing the cost associated with the delivery of care like never before in the history of medicine. Advancements in Telemedicine beyond that of simply providing a video/audio link to connect physician and patient with a few medical devices for cursory medical diagnostics are making significant changes to a whole new way of delivering medical care. The new patient-centered; medical records based; encounter management driven; clinical decision supported, Telemedicine Solution - has come of age! How Telemedicine can change the paradigm of Long Term Care and Assisted Living Medicine
3
Assisted Living persons struggle with mobility and often are completely dependant upon assistance from offsite care providers for any ambulatory activities.
4
Nursing Facility Facts: There are 17,000 nursing homes in the United States 1.6 million people live in nursing homes More than 90 percent of current residents are 65 years of age and over. Almost half are 85 years or over. There are over 2.6 million falls annually in nursing home/assisted living facilities The total annual cost related to falls is in excess of 19.2 billion dollars
5
Routine transportation of residents to and from doctor’s appointments put the resident and nursing home facility at greater risk for injury and can expose both to financial hardships
6
Transportation Risks for the Resident Falls attributed to mounting and dismounting vehicle Traffic accidents to and from destination Skin tears and lacerations due to excessive movement between bed and/or wheelchair Broken bones, especially hip fractures from routine transport offsite Increased cost incurred by each resident to meet rising fuel and vehicle costs
7
Transportation Risks for the Facility Increase in adverse events of residents Higher staff costs Increased insurance premiums for both residents and staff Cost of maintenance for extra vehicles or contracted transportation Exposure to increased liability offsite
8
On average, nursing/assisted living homes spend roughly $200* per resident, per month on transportation related expenses. That equates to $20,000 each month for a 100 bed home in transportation costs. Cutting that by even 50% would save a 100 bed home $10,000 each month. *Gerontology Monthly estimated costs for Nursing/Assisted Living Home with an average of 12 trips per year per resident
9
The role of Tele-medicine and eHealth in Nursing Home Settings From Gerontology vol.47 #21: “Telemedicine was proven to be adequate service delivery in up to 99% of routine medical visits, depending on specialty. In particular, savings were made through a 9% reduction in ER visits and 11% fewer admissions to an acute hospital ward in homes where telemedicine was utilized”
10

How Do We Improve the Level of Health Care Services Delivered to Nursing Home Patients and Yet, Reduce Cost? 1.Implement use of the My eMHR Web Portal for all nursing home residents with initial physical examinations and subsequent medical encounters within the facility and visits to health care providers. Objective – to develop and maintain a comprehensive medical record on all residents. 2.Implement use of the eDoc® Telemedicine/EHR Solution providing a Robust Encounter Management System to include: protocols on common presented Chief Complaints. Objective – to provide board certified specialist developed protocols for use by all medical staff/care providers on location in such a way as to increase the quality and scope of health care services capable of being provided at the “point-of-care” thus reducing the need for remote physician support.

● Nursing home Medical Directors can review comprehensive medical records to include imaging more readily and see more patients at a time via telemedicine, resulting in better care for residents and reduced cost per home for each Medical Director ● ICUcare LLC’s Telemedicine eHealth Solution not only reduces transportation costs and improves resident care through utilization of advanced medical informatics and associated technologies, it can provide competitive advantages when families are choosing homes for loved ones, while providing the best care available for each resident of your home Benefits (Partial Listing)
26
● Nursing home Operators can increase revenues by implementing an in-house diagnostic procedures service offering for many of the routine medical services provided by outside service providers. This can be by achieved using existing human resources (with technical training) and minimum capital investment. The “technical-side” billing component for conducting an Abdominal or Vascular Ultrasound, 2-View Chest X-ray, CBC hemoglobin for review by remote physicians represents an untapped opportunity “Benefit” to the patient, the operator and resident care providers.
