Rising Acuity of Patients
Physicians and providers are faced with caring for sicker patients but with limited resources
Meeting the Challenges of Rising Patient Acuity
Recent rapid rises in patient acuity, coupled with staffing shortages and financial constraints, have created significant challenges for hospital systems of all sizes. Hospitals are often forced to transfer patients out of their system or continue caring for them without the necessary expertise. In addition, 56% of physicians reported an increase in negative health burdens due to delayed or inaccessible care. Learn more about these challenges in this report by the American Hospital Association.
ACCC helps hospitals meet these demands with innovative and cost-effective solutions. Our extensive experience in ICU program design and education enables hospital leadership to build sustainable systems that support staff and patients alike.
