Tele-ICU Services Launch Extends 24x7 Technology-Enabled Acute Care to Kansas Hospital

St. Louis, MO /PRNewswire/ - Advanced ICU Care, the nation's leading provider of high-acuity telemedicine, announced a tele-ICU care launch with AdventHealth Ottawa (Ottawa, KS). The technology-enabled care services implementation is an extension of an existing partnership between the AdventHealth system and Advanced ICU Care, providing support for AdventHealth Ottawa's ICU bedside care team via 24 x 7 x 365 patient oversight.
