About
Jacqueline Urtecho is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of critical care nursing, neuro-intensive care, and health technology implementation. Her most cited study, "Implementation of a Model of Robotic Tele-Presence (RTP) in the Neuro-ICU: Effect on Critical Care Nursing Team Satisfaction" (2012), has garnered 41 citations and represents a pioneering contribution to the field of telemedicine in acute neurological settings. In this work, Urtecho demonstrated how robotic tele-presence systems can be integrated into the neuro-ICU environment to enhance nursing team satisfaction and workflow, addressing a critical gap in understanding how technology affects frontline caregivers. Her research provides evidence that such innovations not only maintain but can improve team dynamics and job satisfaction among critical care nurses, a vital workforce in high-stakes neurological care. By focusing on the human factors of technology adoption—specifically the experiences of nursing staff—Urtecho has helped shape best practices for implementing tele-presence in intensive care. Her work remains a key reference for studies on telehealth in neurocritical care, offering a model for balancing technological advancement with workforce well-being.
