Based on results from the literature and study results at Sentara Healthcare, the typical hospital will be able to realize the following results:

	Reduce ICU and hospital lengths of stay by 10 - 20 % for ICU patients.
	Reduce use and associated costs of ancillary services by 6 - 18% for all ICU patients.
	Free up ICU beds and nursing resources to add 15 - 20 %"new" capacity.

These economic benefits should translate into a contribution of approximately $150,000 a year, or more per ICU bed, depending on the value of added capacity. Actual results will vary based on clinical implementation decisions, hospital cost structures, patient acuity, unit census and payer mix.
