The eICU Research Institute delivers key critical care research and analysis to the healthcare industry using what we believe to be the most extensive ICU-centric longitudinal data set in existence. As part of the eICU Program, we aggregate data collected across the entire customer base to analyze Program effectiveness and provide benchmark reports on clinical best practices. The resulting database — now well past 1,500,000 ICU patient stays and growing at a rate of more than 400,000 per year — is unique in the depth of its clinical data.
Underwritten by Philips, but overseen and driven by customers, the eICU Research Institute leverages this de-identified, aggregated data to conduct in-depth analyses and academic research across a wide array of clinical topics. Results are used to drive additional product innovation. Most importantly, this research is intended to help the critical care community at large.
