Provider-to-Provider Telemedicine Improves Adherence to Sepsis Bundle Care in Community Emergency Departments

Sepsis is a life-threatening emergency, and timely "bundled" care improves sepsis survival. In this rural cohort, telemedicine in the emergency department (tele-ED) improved sepsis bundle adherence, including timely fluid resuscitation and antibiotic administration. Tele-ED may be a scalable intervention to improve sepsis emergency care in rural EDs.
