Providing the Right Care, Right Now™ is the goal for all critical care practitioners who strive to achieve optimal patient outcomes.  The Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) maintains that the Right Care, Right Now™ is best provided by an integrated team of dedicated experts directed by a trained and present physician credentialed in critical care medicine (an intensivist).  Right Care, Right Now™ means the Right care is delivered at exactly the Right moment in time to achieve optimal patient outcomes.

Delivering the Right Care, Right Now™ by a multiprofessional team optimizes care for patients, improves conditions for healthcare providers, and boosts the financial performance of the hospital.  Studies have shown a 30% decrease in ICU length of stay and up to $13 million in annual hospital cost savings when critically ill and injured persons receive care from integrated teams of dedicated experts directed by trained and present intensivists

Since its inception in 1970, SCCM has endorsed this approach that incorporates an integrated team of dedicated experts to ensure excellence and consistency in the delivery of critical care services. 

Make the commitment to provide Right Care, Right Now™ to all critically ill and injured patients and their families. Engage in quality improvement initiatives that will have an immediate and long term impact on the care patients receive in your critical unit. To see how others are accomplishing these goals, visit the Paragon Critical Care Quality Implementation Program webpage. While there, view and listen to a collaborative teleconference that highlights several Right Care, Right Now intiatives or view the 39th annual SCCM Congress opening session video. Share the video with your team to inspire change.
