Clinical Research and Critical Care DeliveryOrganizational research in critical care has expanded over the last five to ten years, with a focus on care-delivery processes that has advanced our understanding of this complex and challenging environment. Research has examined medical errors, physician staffing, nurse-to-patient ratios, unit workflow, staff satisfaction, and multidisciplinary clinical integration. The value of intensivists for delivering care to critically ill patients has been well established. VISICU has developed technology and a centralized care model that enables critical care nurses and nurse practitioners to support and leverage intensivists. Combined with a Six Sigma® approach for utilizing technology to identify and decrease medical errors, the eICU® Program is bringing industry level standards to health care.
