Government hospital spoke
A 10-bed ICU unit is established inside a secondary government hospital, close to patients who would otherwise travel for critical care.
Program model
The ICU is local. The specialist network is shared.
10BedICU began in 2021 to bring critical-care infrastructure to rural and smaller government hospitals. CARE makes the model digital: patient records, ICU rounds, escalation, reporting, and remote review stay on one shared platform.
Specialist TeleICU hub
Medical college or specialist hub teams support multiple spoke hospitals through remote review, structured rounds, escalation, and mentoring.
CARE technology platform
CARE brings the ICU record, patient timeline, orders, notes, rounds, forms, video context, and reporting into one open clinical platform.
What the model needs
Critical care is a system, not a camera feed.
The 10BedICU approach works because physical infrastructure, CARE, TeleICU hubs, training, protocols, and local community participation reinforce each other.
ICU equipment
Beds, monitors, ventilators, oxygen support, and bedside infrastructure give each unit the physical critical-care base.
TeleICU video and devices
Camera and bedside signals help specialists see context, review patients, and guide spoke teams remotely.
CARE EMR workflows
Rounds, notes, investigations, vitals, clinical forms, orders, and handover records stay attached to the patient timeline.
ICU protocols
Standard clinical protocols make care more consistent and give teams a shared operating model for critical situations.
Training programs
Clinical teams are trained on ICU practices, equipment handling, TeleICU workflows, and CARE software usage.
Community participation
Local governance and Rogi Kalyan Samithi-style participation support adoption, accountability, and long-term sustainability.
Why it matters
Specialist care travels through infrastructure.
CARE TeleICU lets critical-care knowledge, protocols, and review capacity move across a network while patients stay closer to home.
Specialist reach without moving every patient
Hub teams can support several district and smaller hospitals while local teams remain the point of care.
Structured critical-care records
CARE keeps remote reviews, ICU notes, observations, orders, and escalation workflows in the same clinical record.
Quality improvement loop
Consistent documentation, protocols, and dashboards make training, supervision, reporting, and operational review easier.
Program states
A repeatable rollout pattern across states.
10BedICU deployments span ten states and union territories, with state launches documented across multiple programs.

AI-ready critical care
AI belongs on top of trusted records, not outside the ICU.
CARE TeleICU creates structured critical-care data: observations, orders, notes, forms, escalations, handovers, and outcomes. That makes AI assistance possible for documentation, summarization, risk review, handover support, and quality improvement while keeping clinicians in control.
TeleICU FAQ
Critical-care infrastructure, explained plainly.
What is CARE TeleICU?
CARE TeleICU is a hub-and-spoke critical care workflow built on CARE. It connects ICU spoke hospitals with specialist hubs through CARE EMR documentation, video/device context, ICU protocols, training, dashboards, and escalation workflows.
How is CARE used in the 10BedICU model?
10BedICU uses CARE as the technology platform for ICU documentation, TeleICU workflows, patient timelines, forms, rounds, notes, reporting, and remote specialist review alongside equipment, protocols, training, and community participation.
Can TeleICU be deployed outside the 10BedICU program?
Yes. The same CARE TeleICU architecture can support critical-care networks, hospital groups, government programs, and implementation partners that need remote specialist review and structured critical-care documentation.
Deploy CARE TeleICU
Build a critical-care network that can keep improving.
OHC can help governments, hospitals, and implementation partners plan CARE-based TeleICU deployments, integrate remote specialist workflows, and adapt the model for local clinical and operational realities.
