Summary
Sinai Health System - Level 1 Trauma Center, is a Chicago-based not-for-profit organization, comprised of seven member organizations: Mount Sinai Hospital, Holy Cross Hospital, Sinai Children’s Hospital, Schwab Rehabilitation Hospital, Sinai Medical Group, Sinai Community Institute and Sinai Urban Health Institute. The system has over 800 physicians on its hospital medical staffs, 695 licensed beds, 100,000+ annual emergency department patient visits and eight physician residency training programs.
Mount Sinai Hospital’s Surgical Intensive Care unit is a 9 bed monitored unit staffed by registered nurses providing primary care for our patient population. We take pride in teamwork in the SICU.
Our unit receives complex trauma patients with the highest acuity, our patients are admitted directly from the Emergency Department or from the Operating Room. In addition to caring for trauma patients we care for a wide spectrum of critically ill surgical patients ranging from high risk general surgical procedures, high risk spine surgery to our Cardiovascular program.
Our physician team includes board certified Intensivists and Trauma physicians and Resident Physicians specializing in the following: trauma, trauma surgery, general surgery, orthopedics, obstetrics, gynecology, oncology, neurosurgery, rehabilitation, ear, nose and throat and much more. We work closely with our social workers which link our patients to support services. They also assist with resources to help patients cope with any post-traumatic stress, medication assistance programs, placement issues, and transition from hospital to home. Our therapy team consists of speech, physical and occupational therapists that do a wonderful job in getting our patients up and moving.
Staffing and scheduling is always of concern to our nursing staff. We utilize online self-scheduling to fit the individual needs of our caregivers with the added convenience of being able to view your schedule and make requests at any time. In addition, we utilize online shift bidding to offer open shifts at a premium rate to provide our nurses with the opportunity to pick up extra shifts, flex staff and enhance continuity of care.
SICU is a fast paced, exciting environment and if teamwork, education and trauma sound exciting - this may be a unit for you.
