Turning Night Into Day: Transcontinental Provision of Telehealth By and For the Emory Community

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Mental Fatigue

In brief

The purpose of the study is to determine if temporarily relocating clinicians who deliver remote care using the eICU telehealth system to Sydney, Australia will lead to greater job satisfaction, reduced physiologic stress, and improve performance. Four nurses and six physicians will be sent to a site in Sydney Australia on a rotating basis to determine whether providing care during the Australian daytime is more efficient and precise than providing care during the night in the United States.
