The purpose of the TeleICU/Acute Care SIG is to enable the education and collaborative interaction of its members, to address issues of key concern specific to the TeleICU community, and to support the mission of the ATA.

The TeleICU/Acute Care SIG provides a vehicle by which to develop and pursue of visionary view of tele-critical care and its opportunities as well as share organizational and operational experiences among ATA members. The SIG may collaborate with other SIGs on key aspects of driving telehealth forward within the acute care space. Issues of interest might include advancing state and federal reimbursement (in collaboration with Policy Committee), validating teleICU impacts and improved outcomes, discussing and implementing evidence-based standards, and expanding tele-critical care beyond the geographic confines of the ICU.
