As a critical care nurse, you are all-to-familiar with the consequences of fragmented physician care. Whether it is reconciling the conflicting orders of attending and consulting physicians, or coping with the practice variations across Intensivists, or trying to provide high level care without adequate access to seasoned critical care expertise in the middle of the night, critical care nurses are on the ICU "firing line", often without the real-time support they need to do the best they can for their patients.

The eICU^® solution provides critical care RNs with the support they are so often missing. Imagine a critical care expert available to you 24 hours a day -- not someone you are waking up at 3:00 AM, but someone who is already awake and proactively looking at the same patient information you are. Critical care nurses are highly enthusiastic about this level of physician support. They point not only to the impact upon their patients' care, but also to the educational and professional development opportunity afforded by the ready access to expertise.

Working at the bedside and in the eICU^® facility reduces the physical demands and increases the intellectual challenge.
