CODI is a secure iOS smartphone app that provides ER physicians in rural and remote BC with instant support and collaborative assistance in the ER. It directly connects a rural physician to an intensivist using technology similar to a FaceTime call. Enhanced patient outcomes and reduced out-of-community transfers are potentially positive outcomes.
