The Leapfrog Group recommends staffing ICUs with board-certified or board-eligible intensivists to ensure top-tier care. Noncompliance can lead to substandard care, hospital downgrades, and weakened negotiation power with third-party payers. ICU on Demand addresses these challenges, enhancing patient safety in a setting where most hospital deaths and overnight expenses occur.
With the national shortage of intensivists, especially in smaller hospitals, our service fills critical gaps—covering after-hours care and improving Leapfrog ratings, making it easier to recruit and retain local intensivists.
