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. CODI’s virtual, 24/7 presence in the pocket of a physician will lessen anxiety, build confidence, enhance quality of life and positively impact recruitment and retention in rural and remote BC (and ultimately, all of Canada). Enhanced patient outcomes and reduced out-of-community transfers are other potentially positive outcomes of CODI.
