Consulting Services

Advanced ICU Care Consulting brings the insights from decades of nationally recognized ICU experience to help hospitals achieve outstanding clinical, operational and financial performance in the ICU. We work with your clinical and management teams to address specific challenges associated with your ICU. Using a set of rigorous, proven consulting tools and an unbiased, objective approach that evaluates each hospital's unique situation, we find creative performance improvement solutions that are the best fit for your facility.

Our consulting team of experienced, board-certified intensivist/pulmonologist ICU Medical Directors, nurses and health care managers support your team to:

• Improve clinical performance: lower ICU and hospital mortality rates, shorten length of stay and increase adherence to evidence-based best practices
• Improve operations: implement safer and more efficient processes, achieve higher staff and patient satisfaction and deliver more effective management reporting
• Improve finances: increase throughput, lower turnover costs and optimize the use of ICU resources

An example of how we support a hospital in improving the clinical, operational and financial performance of its ICU is through our Comprehensive On-Site Performance Assessment.

Our team spends several days at your hospital observing, collecting data and interviewing staff to understand the ICU's status and challenges. Using that information, we prepare a comprehensive assessment comparing your ICU with the characteristics of a high-performing ICU within the categories as shown in the diagram. Our consulting team then returns to your hospital with specific recommendations and an action plan to strengthen your ICU's clinical, operational and financial performance, while closing any gaps between its current performance and that of a high-performing ICU.
