Video: Data From 185,000 ICU Admissions Show Significant Reductions in Mortality:
Date:5/20/2008

ength of stay decreased up to 46 percent when comparing severity-adjusted data on mortality and length of stay from one year before and two years following implementation of their eICU Program.

"We calculated an annual reduction of 4,146 ICU days and 572 hospitals days for the four facilities we studied, which translates to millions of dollars saved to our system," said Avera McKennan Chief Medical Officer David Kapaska, M.D. "This improvement can be attributed to improved workflow, antibiotic protocols, glycemic control and avoidance of a range of complications -- all made possible by the daily reports and best-practice guidelines provided to our clinical staff through the eICU Program."
