The Role of Off-shift Robotic Telerounding Between Physicians and Nurses in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit

Completed

Conditions studied: Off-shift Robotic Telerounding

In brief

Hypothesis: The use of a mobile robotic telepresence system for off-hours rounding in the surgical intensive care unit has an impact on nurse-physician collaboration. Study question: Does the addition of mobile video communication provided by RTP affect nurse-physician collaboration during off shift rounding in the surgical intensive care unit when compared to the more common clinical practice of off-shift rounding using the telephone?
