The benefits of the program are summarized below:
- Expertise of experienced critical care medicine physicians and nurses available 24/7.
- Quality improvements projects initiated and tracked by Advanced ICU Care based on data collected by the software.
- Documented cost savings resulting from reduced length of stay and ancillary service use.
- Ability to benchmark severity-adjusted ICU performance against other Advanced ICU Care and VISICU hospitals.
- Reduced liability exposure resulting from the clinical guidance and documentation of the eICU program and the availability of intensivist expertise.
- Reduced ICU nursing turnover due to the immediate availability of intensivist support.
- Less “burnout” of physicians, e.g., pulmonologists, who provide support to the ICU.
- Improved attending physician lifestyle resulting from ICU intensivist coverage.
- Potential market differentiation by promoting the Advanced ICU Care program as a patient safety initiative that supports the hospital’s commitment to quality care.
