The Intensivist Company (TIC) is a physician-owned, physician-run ICU services company. Founded by Thomas Rainey, MD and John W. Hoyt, MD in 2003, TIC has helped hospitals and private physician groups around the nation develop critical care programs in urban and rural settings.

A growing body of knowledge supports the benefits of an Intensivist in the ICU setting. Care delivery for critically ill patients is highly complex, and yet over 75% of hospitals in the United States still fail to meet safety standards for ICU Physician Staffing (IPS) established by The Leapfrog Group in 2001. 

This frequently results in a multitude of unintended consequences including:
• Fragmented Care
• Conflicting Physician Orders
• Delays in Care
• Lack of Patient Ownership

Ultimately these disconnects among the critical care team result in bad outcomes for the most fragile and most expensive population of patients in the hospital.

In the United States the Intensivist Model remains an implementation challenge due to the following factors: 
• Physician Shortages
• Adequate Funding 
• Cultural Readiness

The Intensivist Company team understands these challenges and brings not only the clinical experience but operational knowledge and implementation expertise to accelerate the development of an Intensivist program.
