Does a full-time, 24-hour intensivist improve care and efficiency?
Crit Care Clin.
1996 Jul.
Abstract
This article reviews the hypothesis that staffing with full-time intensive care physicians leads to improvements in the management of ICUs and in the outcome for ICU patients. Variations in the professional organization of critical care units in the United States are discussed. The advantages and disadvantages of open, closed, and transitional (comanagement) ICU organizational structures are presented.
