Let me tell you, folks, we’ve got a situation here that’s unbelievable, really unbelievable. We’re talking about the ICU – that’s the Intensive Care Unit, for those who might not know – and how it’s just overflowing. People are waiting, and it’s not good, not good at all. But here’s the thing, we’ve got a solution, a fantastic solution: the tele-critical care consult service, or TC3 for short. It’s like having the best doctors right there, but through a screen. Incredible technology.

We did this study, a big study, in St. Louis, Missouri. Great place, fantastic people. We watched, we listened, we talked to the doctors, the nurses, everyone. And guess what? We found out that this TC3, it’s a game-changer. It can stop those unnecessary trips to the ICU. We’re talking about saving beds for the really sick people, folks. And it’s all because of this second set of eyes, this guidance from afar. It’s like having a guardian angel for the hospital.

But, and there’s always a but, we’ve got some hurdles. Some doctors, they like to do things their way, the old way. And then there’s the extra work for the nurses, the potential mix-ups with the rapid response teams. We’ve got to figure this out, we really do. But the benefits, they’re huge. This TC3, it’s on-demand, it’s there when you need it, and it knows what it’s doing. We’re talking about a big win for everyone involved.

So, here’s the bottom line: tele-critical care, it’s the future. It’s how we’re going to make sure everyone gets the care they need, when they need it, without turning our hospitals into a parking lot. We’re going to keep working on it, make it even better. Because that’s what we do, we find solutions. And this, my friends, this is a fantastic solution.
