1 Guidelines on Critical Care Services and Personnel: Recommendations Based on a System of Categorization into Two Levels of Care Copyright by the SCITY F CRITICAL CAR MICIN These guidelines can also be found in the February 1999 issue of Critical Care Medicine -- Crit Care Med 1999 Feb; 27(2): Society of Critical Care Medicine 701 Lee Street Suite 200 es Plaines, IL Phone: 847/
2 Guidelines on Critical Care Services and Personnel: Recommendations Based on a System of Categorization into Two Levels of Care American College of Critical Care Medicine of the Society of Critical Care Medicine ecisions to segregate critically ill patients into intensive care units (ICUs) by age, diagnosis, and acuity of illness are frequently difficult and complicated by economic and political considerations unique to the ICU s hospital setting. The characteristics of ICUs may therefore be determined by the population served by that institution, the proximity of and services provided by neighboring hospitals, and the number and subspecialities of physicians on the hospital staff. For example, large medical centers may have multiple ICUs separated and defined by specialty or subspecialty practices. Small hospitals may have only one intensive care unit designed to care for a large variety of critically ill patients. The use of intermediate care or step-down units in some hospital settings may provide a more efficient distribution of resources for patients whose critical illness requires less use of monitoring equipment and staffing than a high acuity ICU. Although the types and variety of ICUs may differ from hospital to hospital, all ICUs have the responsibility to provide services and personnel that assure optimal care to critically ill patients. When resources are limited, hospitals have the responsibility to assure transfer of the critically ill patient to an appropriate facility. In 1988, the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) published "Recommendations for services and personnel for the delivery of care in a critical care setting" (1). Several years later, "Guidelines for the categorization of services for the critically ill patient" were developed by the SCCM to accommodate regional differences in resources (2). This present document attempts to combine these previous guidelines to address the delivery of quality care for critically ill patients in hospitals with comprehensive resources as well as in hospitals with limited resources. The views reflected in this publication are based upon an updated literature review and a consensus opinion of experts in the field of critical care medicine. These experts include physicians, nurses, pharmacists and pharmacologists, and respiratory therapists. These current recommendations apply to hospitals with primarily adult critical care facilities. Hospitals caring for critically ill children should comply with separate guidelines outlining service and personnel requirements published by the Society of Critical Care Medicine in collaboration with the American Academy of Pediatrics (3). The care of critically ill pediatric patients as well as the care of patients with other highly specialized problems such as peripartum emergencies, spinal cord injuries, and burns should be addressed in each hospital in the form of specific policies relating to in-hospital care or transportation to appropriate facilities. FINITIN F LVLS F CAR efinition of levels of care from comprehensive to limited is necessary to assure the most efficient use of resources within a geographic region. ach hospital should define its goals with respect to the extent of critical care services to be delivered. These goals should reflect the hospital s overall mission and should be considerate of regional needs for critical care services. These guidelines propose two levels of care:
3 1. Level I units care for the complicated, critically ill patients requiring the continuous availability of sophisticated equipment, specialized nurses, and physicians with critical care training. These units are subdivided into Level 1A (academic) and Level 1C (comprehensive) units. Although all Level I units provide comprehensive critical care, Level 1A units will have an additional academic mission. Accordingly, Level I academic units require the additional commitment of the clinical staff to education and research in the field of critical care medicine. 2. Level II units have limited resources to provide critical care to the communities they serve. While these units may be able to deliver a high quality of care to patients with single-organ failure, transfer agreements must be arranged for patients whose problems are complex or highly specialized. Standards described for Level II hospitals in these guidelines represent minimal standards required to provide quality care to critically ill patients. Cooperation between hospitals and professionals within a given region is essential to assure that an appropriate number of Level I and II units are designated. A duplication of services may lead to under-utilization of resources, under-development of skills by clinical personnel, and may be costly. A detailed discussion of the importance of regionalization of critical care services has been addressed by the American College of Critical Care Medicine (4). State and federal governments should be encouraged to enforce the appropriate distribution of critical care services within a region and to participate in the development of referral and transfer policies. Standards for interfacility transfers with reference to federal and local law have been delineated in a collaborative publication by the Society of Critical Care Medicine and by the American Association of Critical Care Nurses (5). The following tables summarize recommendations for services and personnel for Level I and Level II units:
4 FINITIN F HSPITAL RSURCS = ssential = esirable = ptional I. Medical Staff rganization A. A distinct medical staff critical care organizational entity (department, division, section or service) exists. 1. Privileges (both cognitive and procedural) for members of the critical care team are approved by the medical staff credentials committee based on previous training and experience as defined by the medical staff. 2. A section of the medical staff bylaws delineates the regulations governing the implementation of these conditions. 3. Budgetary activities relating to unit function, quality assurance, and utilization review are conducted as joint medical/nursing/administrative endeavors. 4. A critical care representative serves on the medical staff xecutive Committee. B. The team is organized and led by an intensivist with time, expertise in and significant commitment to the care of the critically ill patient within the hospital. C. Patient management is directed by an attending level physician who: 1. Is privileged by the medical staff to have clinical management responsibility for critically ill patients (6). 2. Is board certified in Critical Care Medicine or has equivalent qualifications. 3. Sees the patient as often as required by acuity but at least twice daily. 4. Is either the patient s attending physician or a consultant who provides direct management of critically ill patients..

11 These guidelines have been developed by a Task Force of the American College of Critical Care Medicine of the Society of Critical Care Medicine, and thereafter reviewed by the Society's Council. The guidelines combine two previously published guidelines ("Recommendations for Services and Personnel for elivery of Care in a Critical Care Setting," Crit Care Med 1988 Aug; 16(8): and "Guidelines for Categorization of Services for the Critically Ill Patient," Crit Care Med 1991 Feb; 19(2): ) and will be published in Critical Care Medicine. These guidelines reflect the official opinion of the Society of Critical Care Medicine and should not be construed to reflect the views of the specialty boards or any other professional medical organization.
