Researchers at Penn Medicine have found that intensive care units (ICUs) that are under more strain due to heavy intake of patients often discharge patients more quickly, though without adversely affecting patient outcomes, than when they do not feel such capacity strain, leading to the conclusion that the low-value extensions of ICU stays are minimized, a new study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine reveals.

Busy ICUs Improve Efficiency During Heavy Patient Intake
Researchers at Penn Medicine have found that intensive care units (ICUs) that are under more strain due to heavy intake of patients often discharge patients more quickly, though without adversely affecting patient outcomes, than when they do not feel such capacity strain, leading to the conclusion that the low-value extensions of ICU stays are minimized, a new study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine reveals.
