2. What have you learned about the internet and research? Provide five key words and use
this in five sentences (15 points).
 Critical care is medical care for people who have life-threatening injuries and
illnesses which usually takes place in an intensive care unit (ICU) wherein a team
of specially-trained health care providers gives you 24-hour care. This includes
using machines to constantly monitor your vital signs
 Full-time intensivist model, wherein all or most of a patient’s care is directed by
an intensivist (where an intensivist was defined as an attending physician who, by
training or experience, provides care for the critically ill in a role broader than that
provided by a consultant specialist).
 Consultant intensivist model, wherein an intensivist consults for another
physician to coordinate or assist in critical care but does not have primary
responsibility for care.
 Multiple consultant model, wherein multiple specialists are involved in the
patient’s care (a pulmonologist or intensivist might be consulted for ventilator
management, but no one is designated specifically as the consultant intensivist).
 Single physician model, wherein the primary physician provides all ICU care
without involvement of an intensivist or other consultant.

3. Realizations/ Insights:
As time passes by and as population increases, the need for better critical care
services is of great demand. At the same time, the continuously advancing market forces
put more pressure on both the hospital and the healthcare professional’s abilities to
deliver effective critical care services. With this, they should constantly update skills and
services in order to keep up with the progressing market, and at the same time prioritizing
efficacy and efficiency. Effective and efficient methods are to be sought.
 Models in critical care delivery should help minimize mortality and maximize
efficiency while conserving the dignity of patients. More so, length of stay and cost of
care should be decreased as much as possible. All members of the healthcare team must
work together in order to provide the best care possible.
