Video Summary

Ben Bassin, director of the Emergency Critical Care Center (EC3) at the University of Michigan, outlines their model that integrates an ICU within the emergency department. Since its inception in 2015, EC3 has proven effective by reducing 30-day mortality by 15% and decreasing ICU admissions by 13%, all while maintaining care costs. The innovative approach allows for critical care delivery at the patient's point of entry into the hospital, improving outcomes and resource allocation. Bassin highlights the importance of this model for advancing emergency and critical care practices, emphasizing its suitability for certain health centers.
