Critical Care
Consistent coverage. Early intervention. Reliable routines.
When a patient becomes critically ill, minutes—and teamwork—matter. On-site, hybrid, or Tele-Critical Care. It’s your choice. We apply the Sound Critical Care Top Five to stay in lockstep with your nurse leaders and, most importantly, provide innovative clinical interventions for your patients. Empower your intensive care unit (ICU) to deliver safer care, without adding workload or cost surprises to your team or your budget.
What sets us apart
You want an ICU that’s steady under pressure. Clear roles. Faster decisions. Dignity for every patient. We help you get there by embedding a clinician-led team with a local medical director who knows your community. Together, we co-design your ICU model as a single option or a tailored combination—right-sized to your acuity and volumes—drawing from:
- On-site intensivists
- A hybrid model that pairs on-site intensivists and Critical Care advanced practice providers (APPs) with tele-intensivists to support hospitalists, residents, and APPs in the ICU.
- Tele-Critical Care coverage
Our Critical Care Top Five helps guide your results:
Multidisciplinary rounds
Intensivist-led, patient- and family-aligned rounds that set the plan of care for the day and remove barriers early.Practice guidelines
Unit-specific, evidence-based playbooks your medical director owns and updates, so teams practice the same high standard of care.Action plans
Regular reviews that turn data into named owners, deadlines, and fixes, driving continuous improvement you can measure.Team huddles
Daily 10-minute huddles and twice-monthly intensivist task forces to keep priorities clear and escalate issues before they become delays.Communication
One source of truth across bedside, electronic health records, Tele-Critical Care, the emergency department, and hospital medicine, so handoffs are smooth and decisions move faster.

Tele-Critical Care: Intensivists on demand. Expanded access. 24/7.
When coverage is thin, volumes spike, or geography makes recruiting tough, you still need steady ICU decisions. With Tele-Critical Care, Sound partners with your on-site teams to extend board-certified intensivists into your ICUs, inpatient floors, or emergency department—at night, on weekends, during surge, or continuously.
We co-design when tele-coverage engages, integrate with nursing and hospital medicine, and work in your electronic health record. You get faster escalation, calmer nights, and predictable costs, without losing local ownership.
Teaching and leadership programs
Grow local leaders. Sustain performance. You need confident ICU leadership that can run a calm, reliable practice. We invest in your medical directors and APP leaders with a structured path—from onboarding and ongoing coaching to development and retention—so your team practices the same high standard of care every shift.
