Promote the ICU standard of care.
Our mission is to promote awareness about the ICU standard of care, the discipline of Critical Care Medicine, and how it should be practiced to save lives and preserve the quality of those lives saved.
The best chance of surviving critical illness.
Our goal is to ensure all critically ill patients receive the highest standard of care in a timely manner, while avoiding ineffective aggressive measures and unnecessary invasive procedures that will not change the outcome of an illness.
How the work shows up
INSPIRE CCM focuses on public education, collaboration with health care professionals, and patient advocacy. The central message is simple: the public should know what Critical Care Medicine is and should be empowered to expect coordinated ICU care.
A practical advocacy agenda
Awareness
Explain Critical Care Medicine in plain language so families know who should be leading ICU care.
Standards
Make timely, multidisciplinary, physician-led ICU care the expected model, not a lucky exception.
Compassion
Protect patients from unnecessary burdens when the most humane care is comfort and dignity.
