Since 2008, Advanced ICU Care has received the accreditation for the highest national standards in patient safety and quality, demonstrating that its care meets the rigorous standards for healthcare quality and safety set by the Joint Commission. By 2012, we added a second operations center in New York to help support what was now 20 clients. In 2014, Advanced ICU Care moved to a new corporate office and a new operations center in St. Louis, recognizing the need to support an ever-growing system with continued care excellence. Along the way, we added to the Philips technology core to deliver capabilities that are unique to our tele-ICU offering. Today, we partner with over 65 hospitals and hospital systems, operate five operations centers (plus another three through exclusive partnership relationships), and care for over 55,000 patients annually with a staff of over 140 care-focused clinicians. Our technology enables any doctor or nurse in any of our operations centers to care for any patient in any partner hospital ICU, alerting them to developing conditions and issues while also enabling protocols customized to each hospital. Our care model helps our partners deliver 24/7 gold standard intensivist care to their patients, which results in more lives saved, shorter ICU stays, and avoidance of complications such as sepsis and infections. Let us help you find the answers What services does Advanced ICU Care provide? Advanced ICU Care offers comprehensive tele-ICU services, with a proven track record of improving the clinical, financial and operational performance of its hospital partners. As the nation’s largest tele-ICU provider, Advanced ICU Care has successfully implemented and managed more programs than any other organization. Our best-in-class programs combine experienced intensivist-led care teams, sophisticated telemedicine technology and a rigorous focus on evidence-based best practices to improve patient care and safety. The typical Advanced ICU Care tele-ICU program combines experienced, intensivist-led care teams with telemedicine technology and a continuous process improvement program to drive the highest level of care in the ICU. These programs provide 24/7 monitoring of ICU patients by an intensivist-led care team with a rigorous focus on best practices. With Advanced ICU Care, patients receive the highest level of care recommended for U.S. hospitals today: 24/7/365 attention by highly trained, experienced intensivist specialists. Advanced ICU Care’s experienced critical care team constantly monitors the patient’s condition using data management tools that identify problems before they become urgent. This added layer of care saves lives, shortens hospital stays, and helps avoid infections and complications. With Advanced ICU Care, bedside physicians have an always-on partner that ensures emerging issues are dealt with immediately. Physicians can be confident that calls and crises will be significantly reduced, giving them more time for their outpatient practice and other pursuits. Advanced ICU Care’s tele-ICU solution means that their sickest patients are vigilantly monitored when they are not present. The Advanced ICU Care intensivist-led care team is connected with each patient at the bedside, working around-the-clock, complementing the care plans that the bedside physician sets in motion and collaborating to provide 24/7/365 intensivist coverage that is the recommended best practice in the ICU today. In partnering with Advanced ICU Care, critical care nurses have an experienced intensivist available to them 24/7. Nurses are relieved of the stress that accompanies the need to contact a doctor when one is not available, whether it is the challenge of contacting him or her or determining whether to place that “wake-up call” in the middle of the night. An intensivist is always available to address an urgent condition or even coach a nurse through a procedure such as intubation. The nurses’ team also gains additional critical care nurses to help them deliver on best practice standards, and to evolve them as part of broader process improvement initiatives. Simply reducing the length of stay in the ICU by a full day for our average patient in 2015 saved our partner hospitals over $60 million in ICU costs. A study of 40 partner hospitals found decreased costs associated with staff turnover, compliance, readmissions, ICU capacity issues, and other challenges – resources better spent on staffing, expansion, or reinvestment. How we help We help save lives We are actively engaged in evidence-based care around-the-clock. We identify sepsis sooner and intervene rapidly. We remove patients from ventilation earlier. This proactive collaboration means lower mortality and less time that your patients spend in the ICU. Tele-ICUs are built on intense connectedness, processing a constant inflow of patient data and adding a sophisticated overlay of analytics, which provides you access to evidence-based workflows and valuable performance insight. Our service fits in seamlessly with your existing technology. You focus on patient care, not tech details.
