dc.description.abstract	The delay encountered when transferring a critical patient from a hospital ward to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is one of the ongoing problems encountered in the Sri Lankan health sector. ICU transfer delays have a significant impact on a critical patient's condition as it often increases mortality. There are several factors that cause ICU transfer delays. This paper discusses ICU transfer delays, the problems associated with delays and the use of Image Processing to minimize delays. Additionally, a review of similar applications and identification of theories, tools and techniques relevant to the area of study has been assembled.	en_US
