Goran discusses the advantages of
switching from a regular ICU to one that is referred to as tele-ICU.
With tele-ICU, there is continuous monitoring of patients which helps
provide better care than before while reducing some of the physical
risks.
This article can be useful in explaining
tele-ICU to gain a better understanding. Goran goes over a few
different areas of tele-ICU and discusses how this is still an
evolving idea. Nurses may require special training which is something
that is pointed out as well.
This could be helpful to gain knowledge
on tele-ICU. I will use it to provide background about this specific
topic and how exactly it works in the intensive care unit.
Tariman, Joseph D. "Technological Advancements In Cancer Care." ONS Connect 23.7 (2008): 8-12.
Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition. Web. 7 May 2012
This article is specifically about
patients with cancer and the technological advancements that have
been made with providing care to said individuals. Tariman goes over
the use of hand held equipment that correctly identifies patients via
a bar code and keeps track of drugs and when they need to take them.
This is a useful source because it tells
of a situation where need technology has changed the way nursing
staffs do things on a day to day basis. This source is different
because it talks directly about cancer and all of the other things
that I have found don't provide a specific disease.
An article like this has useful
information but I think that with research paper, I might be able to
use tidbits of information from this article. I wouldn't want to
include too much information from this article just due to the fact
that my paper is not about cancer.
Rajecki, R.
"Eicu: Big Brother, Great Friend: Remote Monitoring Of Patients
Is A Boon For Nurses, Patients, And Families." Rn 71.11

Rajecki explains in this article how
some might feel that monitoring patients with cameras might be an
issue of ethics. However, Rajecki talks of how monitoring patients
with a close camera eye is now the best choice for patient care.
Rajecki includes statements from hospital staff who use this new
technology and who agree that this is the best type of patient care.
I think that this article might be a
little biased because Rajecki only talks about how it might be an
ethical issue in the first paragraph. I would like to know why people
think it is unethical rather than just stating that some think so. It
is useful even under that circumstance.
This article can be used in my paper to
inform peers of the views of the staff who work with this equipment.

Education And Practice." Journal Of Continuing Education In

This article is a clear, detailed
outline of tele-ICU. Diane discusses why hospitals are looking to
make the switch to more advanced, carefully monitored ICU rooms. It
also includes how nurses use the equipment and what kind of training
they will need to even operate the system.
This is by far one of the more useful
articles that I have found. This article includes more background on
tele-ICU. This information seems very reliable and unbiased.
This will be helpful in writing my paper
because I will be able to include some detailed information and that
is what I feel makes a good paper. Also, this is the type of
information that an academic peer might look for when they read my
paper.

This article is an overview of the use
of telemedicine and the overall use of it. Reed talks about the
evolution of telemedicine and how more members of the hospital staff
are using it besides physicians. Reed also talks about the advantages
of telemedicine including cost effectiveness and patient care.
This is a useful article in a different
way than all the rest. It includes information on telemedicine
besides tele-ICU like the rest of my resources. This takes a
different angle on the situation but it doesn't include information
about the negative side of telemedicine.
This fits into my research because it
helps me shape a more informative paper. It provides background on
telecare and how it should be used and the benefits of using
telemedicine.
