Filling a need

Managers in the fields of intensive care and emergency medicine face highly demanding challenges, not the least of which are the rapidly changing technology market, a lack of resources both human and financial, and the constant question of how they can improve the services they provide. Coupled with the existing lack of specific training in management issues today for professionals, there is a strong need for a central platform that addresses these key issues.

As one of the leading global journals designed specifically to support best practice in management in critical care and emergency medicine, ICU Management addresses this need, thus being an essential tool for all professionals active in the critical care and emergency management fields. ICU Management covers topics such as medical errors and improving safety protocols, organisational strategies, cost effectiveness, staffing issues (i.e. conflict management; burnout), informatics in ICU and optimal patient and staff satisfaction. By covering a multitude of multidisciplinary topics, ICU Management attempts to bridge the gap between specialised medicine and the unique requirements of the ICU. This unique publication focused on practical management techniques seeks to assist the development of more efficient, cost-effective methods of care, which serve to improve patient outcomes while providing much needed insight into and analysis of the constantly evolving field of intensive care. ?
