The Institute also has 2 Centers (Critical Care and Perioperative Medicine) designed to organize the clinical, education, and research activities of these services across the entire Cleveland Clinic Health System. The leaders, providers, educators, researchers, and caregivers of IHI work collaboratively with hospitals across geographies to innovate and reimagine the patient journey as we provide seamless access to our high-quality care and cutting-edge research to more patients in more locations in the United States and around the globe.

Graduate medical education programs in IHI include over 150 residents and over 100 fellows in 14 specialties and subspecialties in addition to an APP-School of Nurse Anesthesia and APP-ICU Fellowship. We conduct research activities across the spectrum of basic, translational, and clinical research with over 650 IRB-approved projects supported by over 100 federal grants, 150 industry sponsored trials, and various foundation awards.

Department of Anesthesiology

Cleveland Clinic's Anesthesiology Department unites all specialists in multi-specialty, and cardiothoracic anesthesiology, and surgical critical care, with the community hospital anesthesiology practice, research, and graduate medical education within one fully integrated model of care to improve the medical management and quality of life for our patients. Our organizational structure is an employed model, with staff anesthesiologists medically directing residents, fellows, certified registered nurse anesthetists, and certified anesthesiologist assistants.

The mission of the Anesthesiology Department is to be a recognized leader in perioperative care through education, research, and innovation within an environment that creates a safe, effective, efficient, and best experience for our patients and caregivers. We accomplish this vision by collaborating with each other, other institutes and Departments within the Cleveland Clinic, and with outside entities. Our internationally recognized medical staff and dedicated support team provide care for more than 230,000 procedures annually.

One of the largest anesthesiology residency training programs in the country is based at our Main Campus, with over 100 residents and 60 fellows within our various fellowship programs, offering subspecialized training in cardiothoracic, regional/acute pain, transplant, obstetrical, pediatric, ambulatory, and neuro-anesthesia, pain management, critical care, and research. In total, our three (Main Campus, South Pointe, and Florida) post-graduate training programs provide many opportunities to recruit new staff to the Department. Similarly, the Cleveland Clinics own School of Nurse Anesthesia, Case Westerns Nurse Anesthesia and Anesthesiology Assistant programs, and other regional nurse anesthesia programs provide opportunities to recruit CRNAs and CAAs to our Department.

Critical Care Center

The Critical Care Center is established within the Integrated Hospital-Care Institute as a collaborative ICU organization that is matrixed across clinical disciplines and institutes. Forty-seven unique ICUs comprise the Center, accounting for more than 900 ICU beds, across four markets: Northeast Ohio, Florida, Abu Dhabi, and London (England). It is one of the largest critical care organizations in the world and it aims to cohesively align all critical care components across markets and submarkets. The Centers vision is to provide the safest longitudinal compassionate care to critically ill patients and their families based on a culture of collaboration, and evidence-based best practices; to be the best place to work for our team members; and to be a leading national and international Critical Care Center in healthcare delivery, education, research, and innovation. The Center is committed to the concept of Continuum of Care to our critically ill patients, and to ICU survivors and their families from the emergency room to post-ICU recovery clinics.

The Center has oversight and responsibility to develop vision, future directions, strategies, and objectives and key results (OKRs) to align Critical Care Divisions and ICUs across the enterprise. The Center is responsible for establishing cross-Institute ICU Quality, Patient Safety & Experience (QPSE) goals, standardizing ICU best practices and staffing coverage models to provide highly reliable and safe care, optimizing ICU cost of care and patient care transitions and throughput across the continuum of care, coordinating Critical Care research and education efforts across institutes and markets, and has oversight of the Tele-Critical Care program and critical response and resuscitation through the enterprise Resuscitation Operations Council.
