Emergency Services

OTN's Emergency Services Program uses telemedicine in situations requiring the management of a life threatening condition. Without telemedicine, these situations could result in permanent disability or even death. Tele-emergency applications at OTN include Telestroke, virtual critical care, trauma, burn/plastics, and crisis tele-psychiatry.

Benefits include:

• Elimination of geographic barriers to specialized emergency services and service providers
• reduction of unnecessary transfers and ensure necessary transfers occur in a timely fashion
• improved diagnostic response times
• improved decision‐making
• improved patient outcomes
