AbstractModern ICUs present unique challenges to physician-administrators in the current health care environment. Several models of care (e.g., open versus closed ICUs, physician extenders in the ICU) are used throughout the country, with varying degrees of success. Although all care models may work, the ideal model for a given ICU can be found only through ongoing performance improvement.
