New ICU Design andPatient Outcome
Journal Title: International Journal Of Medical Science And Clinical Research Studies - Year 2023, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Hospital length of stay (LOS) is a quality metric health systems use as a proxy of efficient hospital management (1). Many strategies to reduce ICU length of stay (LOS) have been implemented, but few studies have evaluated the role of ICU design in reduction of LOSand outcome.This study was informed by the need to compare ICU performance in terms of length of stay and outcomebefore the upgrade of the ICU facilities and organizational structure (January 2018 –December 2019) and after upgrade of the ICU facilities (January 2020 –December 2021). Finally we demonstrate the impact of ICU design in reducing costs of ICU patients.
