ICU rounding allows nurses and doctors to use the 760 carts to initiate bedside consults with remote intensivists and specialists ;
Telepsychiatry, where patients can be immediately seen by a mental health professional via the 760 cart and can de-escalate mental health crises, clarify symptoms and provide treatment recommendations.
