Army Maj. (Dr.) Nikhil Huprikar (seated), chief of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Service at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC), demonstrates to Army Brig. Gen. Jack Davis, WRNMMC director, how WRNMMC can now access the Joint Tele-Critical Care Network (JTCCN), also called “tele-ICU,” now that WRNMMC opened its hub in the JTCCN May 25. “The JTCCN is a tele-critical care platform created by Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD) with intensivists privileged via the Virtual Medical Center Front Office to treat critically-ill patients at military treatment facilities (MTFs) throughout the Military Health System (MHS). JTCCN meets most accreditation requirements for access to critical care physicians [and] critical care expertise,” Huprikar explained.
