SEC. 3. FINDINGS. 
Based on the Health Resources and Services Admin-
istration’s May 2006 Report to Congress, The Critical 
Care Workforce: A Study of the Supply and Demand for 
Critical Care Physicians, the Congress makes the fol-
lowing findings:

days of ICU care were provided in the United States 
through approximately 59,000 ICU beds in 3,200 
hospitals.

the ICU are related to who delivers that care and 
how care is organized. 
(3) The demand in the United States for crit-
ical care medical services is rising sharply and will 
continue to rise sharply largely as a result of the fol-
lowing 3 factors: 
(A) 
There 
is 
strong 
evidence 
dem-
onstrating improvements in outcomes and effi-
ciency when intensive care services are provided 
by nurses and intensivist physicians who have 
advanced specialty training in critical care med-
icine. 
(B) The Leapfrog Group, health care 
payors, and providers are encouraging greater 
use of such personnel in intensive care settings.
