There is a critical nationwide shortage of trained intensivists resulting in a significant percentage of ICUs not meeting leapfrog compliance. The shortage is projected to worsen over the coming years.

Lack of intensivist support in the care of critically ill patients worsens the clinical outcomes and increases morbidity and mortality of these patients.

This affects patient care and results in loss of revenue to the hospitals by necessitating transfer of patients to other facilities.

EICU addresses the above by providing critical care coverage to the ICUs, improving quality of care and increasing hospital revenue generation.
