Recipients Embody Collaborative Spirit Enabling the Gold Standard of Patient Care through Tele-ICU
Advanced ICU Care, the nation’s leading provider of high-acuity telemedicine services, today announced the recipients of the company’s third annual I SEE YOU CARE Awards. The accolade honors hospitals and individuals who embrace and strengthen the collaborative relationship between bedside providers and Advanced ICU Care’s intensivist-led remote care teams to provide the gold standard of care to the hospital’s most critically-ill patient populations. Established in 2016, the I SEE YOU CARE Awards celebrate the dedicated efforts of the company’s tele-ICU partners that leverage the telemedicine collaboration to truly make a difference in the lives of patients and their families.
Winners are selected from nominations drawn from Advanced ICU Care employees and its partner hospitals in 25 states. This year’s awards recognize thirteen recipients in five categories – clinical program administrator, hospital, nurse, physician and a newly added category, patient story. Award winners included four hospitals and nine individuals. Each recipient was honored with an award presentation and a donation in their name to their hospital’s foundation or a foundation of their choice.
“The entire Advanced ICU Care team values the dedication, diligence and expertise of our partner hospitals and their teams. We are pleased to honor these organizations and individuals for exemplifying the patient-focused, outcomes-oriented care that is the foundation of our tele-ICU service,” said Lou Silverman, CEO of Advanced ICU Care. “Their commitment to our partnership and to delivering the highest standard of patient care makes it our great honor to recognize these individuals and institutions for their ongoing commitment to patients, families and state-of-the-art ICU care.”
