Effectiveness of an intensive care telehealth programme to improve process quality (ERIC) a multicentre stepped wedge cluster randomised controlled trial

Abstract

Supporting the provision of intensive care medicine through telehealth potentially improves process quality. This may improve patient recovery and long-term outcomes. We investigated the effectiveness of a multifaceted telemedical programme on the adherence to German quality indicators (QIs) in a regional network of intensive care units (ICUs) in Germany.
