• Facilitate ICU Bed Management Locally   

• Streamlined Communications (Up-to-Date Contact Details)   

• Pathway for Electronic Referrals   

• Information to Support Surge/ Major Disaster Situations (e.g., COVID-19)   

• Off-Unit Management of Patients (ED, Theatre, etc.)   

• Reports on ICU Bed Availability and Utilisation.
