These AACN findings track with the internal findings of Advanced ICU Care, drawn from its work with over 60 hospitals and hospital systems nationally. Nurses find the readily-available 24/7/365 expertise of an intensivist-led care team provides them the ability to improve care for critically ill patients around the clock and better address the range of clinical challenges that might arise.
