"Key" to successful intensivist program

"There is only word, you may call it trick, which made our intensivist program a real success and a buyout for all physicians in our hospital - that word is 'visibility'...People see us 24/7 everywhere, not only in ICU but from ER to floors doing lines and consults. They got irreversibly dependent on us. We don't have one word in our dictionary and that word is 'No'. Having 2 intensivist at a time (day time), one covering ICU and other outside the boundary actually brought more financial success to our program. We made life too easy for them......"

(Heard from Program Director of one highly successful intensivist program in nation)
