CritAcuity
ICU MANAGEMENT AND STAFFING
Intensivist-led ICUs save lives and reduce costs
An Intensivist (or Critical Care Specialist) is a specially trained physician who takes care of the most severely ill patients in a hospital. This is among the newest specialties in medicine, and there is currently a national shortage of board-certified intensivists.
Our Intensivits have the necessary clinical and administrative skills to professionally mange your facility’s Intensive Care Unit. Our customized, fully Leapfrog Group-compliant approach results in increased efficiencies, lower costs, and reduced morbidity and mortality—all while meeting CMS and state quality reporting requirements.
The CritAcuity Advantage...
The first phase of our customized engagement begins with a comprehensive on-site consultation and evaluation. We will identify specific local challenges and explore opportunities for improvement. After a thorough and objective performance analysis of your existing critical care services, the second phase begins. This includes a custom financial, administrative, and physician staffing solution tailored to your hospital’s culture and specific needs.
