- Authors
Barbash, Ian J.; Kahn, Jeremy M.
- Abstract
The article offers the author's insights on the assessment of hospital admissions in the intensive care units (ICU) through the severity of illnesses. Topics mentioned include the strategy in reducing the hospital spending, the study that demonstrates the ICU admission benefit for low risk patients, and the developing of strategies in making the function of hospital wards be like ICUs without turning them into ICs.
