Background & Purpose of Study
• Background• Telemedicine extremely prevalent• Telemedicine associated with positive outcomes
• Reduced length of stay, preventable complications, cost, and mortality
• Increased patient satisfaction and adherence to clinical best practices
• BUT little research investigating the impact on teamwork
• Purpose• The aim of this study was to examine the impact of a telemedical roboton Trauma Intensive Care Unit (TICU) clinician teamwork (i.e., teamattitudes, behaviors, and cognitions) during patient rounds.

Key Concepts
• Bedside Rounds• Clinicians walk and discuss each case directly beside the patient• Potential Problems
• Increase risk of infection and more interruptions and distractions
• Remote Rounds• Clinicians discuss cases separate from the unit• Potential Problems
• No visual cues and no real time vitals
• Telerounds• Clinicians discuss cases separate from the unit• Real time visual and audio of patient and unit

Key Concepts
• Attitudes• Trust – willingness to accept vulnerability based on positive intentions andbehaviors of others
• Behaviors• Attendance – being present during rounds• Communication - Information verbally exchanged between a sender and areceiver
• Cognition• Transactive Memory Systems – shared knowledge about who knows what
• Climate• Psychological Safety – shared sense that it is safe to take interpersonal risks

Study Design
• Mixed Model• Between Groups Factor (Treatment and Control)
• Within Groups Factor (Time)
• Control group• Conducts rounds in a remote room for 30 days
• Access to laboratory results, X-rays, and paper-based patient
files
• Experimental Group• Conducts rounds same remote room for next 30 days
• Access to laboratory results, X-rays, paper-based patient files,
and real-time information provided by RP-7 robot

Rounding Technology
• Wireless, mobile device – RP7
• Approximately 5 feet tall with speeds up to 5 mph
• Providers in remote room control with proprietaryjoystick
• Base is 3 wheels and infrared sensors at midpointdetect objects
• Individuals in unit see provider’s (i.e., operator’s) face
• Robot projects live visual feed on large monitors onwall
• Phone on robot and speakers in remote room enableverbal communication

Findings: Summary
• Telemedicine increases attendance and communication• Telemedicine is not significantly related to trust, transactive memorysystems, or team psychological climate
![Page 22: Utilizing Telemedicine During Rounds: Does It Improve ...€¦ · • BUT little research investigating the impact on teamwork •Purpose • The aim of this study was to examine](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022041502/5e22b1e8684c5347f21cab74/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Future Directions
• Investigate other team sizes, types (e.g., ad-hoc teams and multi-team systems), and team members (e.g., patients, physicianspecialists, and technicians)
• Examine various tasks (e.g., consultations, planning, and surgery)• Assess additional team competencies (e.g., shared mental models,cohesion, leadership, and backup behavior)
