In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the healthcare industry continues to face significant challenges, including an aging population and workforce shortages.¹ ² In light of these recent challenges, acuity adaptable care is re-emerging as a way to potentially improve patient outcomes and satisfaction while optimizing hospital resources. Acuity adaptable care environments have the ability to adapt to each patient's needs and acuity levels as they fluctuate. This not only reduces the risk of errors and gaps in communication that occur with transfers, but it may also decrease the length of stay and rates of infection. In this podcast, Faye Aebly, Clinical Development Manager for GE HealthCare, and Dr. Maurizio Cecconi, head of the anesthesia and intensive care unit at Humanitas Research Hospital and Humanitas University in Milan, discuss the opportunities and challenges of acuity adaptable care, as well as the role of technology in supporting the transition.
