In addition to the significant benefits in the quality of patient care, the use of intensivists ― coupled with cutting-edge technology ― is a powerful tool for managing resource utilization. Cost savings are associated with a lower incidence of complications translating to reduced lengths of stay in the ICU and post-ICU floor, decrease in daily ancillary costs, lower nursing turnover rates and a decrease in nursing hours worked per patient day.
Additionally, the Advanced ICU Care Program supports instituting best practices and benchmarking actual performance compared to these practices.
