ABOUT MARYLAND eCARE

Everyday, patients in Maryland receive excellent care. To enhance that care, six Maryland hospitals, known collectively as Maryland eCare, have united to bring state-of-the-art technology to the patients they serve.

A $3 million grant from CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield will help these hospitals bring the Philips-VISICU Program to each of their intensive care units (ICUs). This technology allows a remote team of critical care nurses and intensivists to provide moment to moment monitoring of ICU patients, complement care provide by local staff.

Maryland eCare is the largest collaboration of independent hospitals in the country – and the only such partnership in the state of Maryland – to facilitate this model of care for its patients.
