The wide range of successes delivered by Advanced ICU Care in
2015 detail the significant impact its tele-ICU services have on
patient outcomes and illustrate the growth of its high acuity
telehealth services and the broader telehealth ecosystem. The
company partnered with its client hospitals to reduce ICU mortality
by 34 percent, save over 1,400 lives, and reduce the typical
patient’s stay in the ICU by more than a full day.
“These data do more than simply document great clinical results.
For our teams these milestones literally represent life-changing
events for the patients we serve, their families, and our hospital
partners,” noted Lou Silverman, CEO of Advanced ICU Care.
As the documented clinical benefits of tele-ICU continue to
expand, so does the reach of high acuity telemedicine.
“We are privileged to work with over 60 client hospitals and
hospital systems,” commented Dr. Isabelle Kopec, MD, co-founder of
Advanced ICU Care and Vice President of Medical Affairs. “We could
not have anticipated such growth ten years ago, and look forward to
continuing to extend our high-acuity telemedicine expertise to help
hospitals nationwide care for their most critically ill
patients.”
