For Healthcare Leadership

Our ICU program delivers 24/7 board-certified intensivist coverage and a proven process to help manage ICUs more effectively, while enhancing patient care and safety in the ICU, increasing throughput, patient flow, and improving contribution margin.

We know hospital leadership teams face myriad issues, particularly in the ICU. An estimated 10 percent of patients admitted to ICUs never leave the hospital. The daily cost per bed for critical care services is in the range of $2,300 to $3,000, and the average patient stay is between six and nine days. It's no wonder that ICU patient care accounts for at least 20 percent, if not more, of hospitals' operating budgets. In addition, hospitals are dealing with the severe shortage of intensivists and critical care nurses, which is expected to worsen given the aging U.S. population.

At the same time, hospitals are facing increasing pressure to perform, whether it's employer demand for improved patient safety and clinical outcomes (such as the Leapfrog Group), the need for aggressive cost management or governmental pressures. Quality of care can be a huge concern for many hospitals, along with capacity constraints, patient throughput issues and operating costs.
