“What I want to do for the ICU is what Steve Jobs did for the iPhone,” said Moore Foundation grantee Peter Pronovost, critical care physician at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. Dr. Pronovost, along with clinicians from Johns Hopkins and three other hospitals supported by the foundation including Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Brigham and Women’s Hospital and University of California, San Francisco, are reengineering how the ICU works in an effort to improve patient care.
Each of these hospitals is focused on developing smarter, more connected technologies that not only improve access to information but also the flow of data between machines that traditionally do not speak to one another. A recent STAT article describes some of the work being done by these hospitals and others to bring ICUs into the 21st century and work toward a future where everything is connected.
