Why INSPIRE CCM

Every moment in critical illness matters.

INSPIRE CCM was formed to raise public awareness about the practice of Critical Care Medicine and the need for timely, intensivist-led ICU care.

The Need

Right care, right now.

Due to the nature of critical illness, every moment counts. Delays can have grave consequences, and immediate actions are often lifesaving.

When physicians are available and exclusively assigned to care for ICU patients around the clock, patients do better. The organization advocates for hospitals to deliver coordinated ICU care through multidisciplinary teams supported by administrators and medical staff.

Advocate for critical care physicians to lead ICU care for the critically ill.
Help patients and families understand the ICU standard of care.
Support compassionate decision-making when treatment is no longer effective.
