Intensive Care Units

We are proud to say that here at St. Elizabeth Healthcare our ICU’s are staffed with Registered Nurses. Rounding out our staff are support personnel such as nurse assistants and clerical coordinators. They are here to assist you and the nurses in providing the best care possible.

Our staff completes comprehensive training in various aspects of Intensive Care Nursing, and each year attends various classes to update those skills.

General Rules

Our staff is very concerned about the privacy and confidentiality of our patients.

When calling ICU units, specific information can not be shared over the phone. We ask that you establish a contact person and a phone tree to contact other family members. By providing us with one person to impart information to, this will allow us more time to spend with your loved one.

St. Elizabeth Healthcare has partnered with Hicuity Health®, the nation’s largest provider of tele-ICU services to deliver monitoring by highly trained intensivist physicians and critical care nursing specialists 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

From their central, off-site location, the Hicuity Health® team continuously monitor patient data – including vital signs, medications, lab results and trends in patients’ clinical status – and collaborate with the bedside critical care team.

The Hicuity Health® tele-ICU program provides an extra level of care that ensures patients are closely monitored every second of the day by an additional team of physicians and board-certified critical care specialists. With this constant level of highly skilled care, key changes in a patient’s condition are detected at the earliest opportunity, which ultimately improves our patients’ outcomes. This constant monitoring ensures that help is available when needed.

We understand how difficult an ICU stay can be for patients and their families. St. Elizabeth Healthcare is committed to providing the highest level of care and support to reduce the stress and anxiety that often accompanies a serious illness or injury. If you have any questions about our intensive care unit or tele-ICU program, please talk with your physician or bedside nurse.
