CEO: Jason Stein
Current Status: Products on the market
Company Profile: 1Unit's flagship program is the Accountable Care Unit care model (ACU® care model), featuring Structured Interdisciplinary Bedside Rounds (SIBR® rounds). A major constraint in hospitals is the persistence of underperforming frontline clinical care teams. Hospital physicians and nurses have never been trained to coordinate efficiently and effectively with the patient and each other at the bedside. With 1Unit's SIBR rounds, care teams come together working collaboratively with patients at the bedside, sharing critical-thinking based on new data points, cross-checking information accuracy, proactively identifying deviations from the expected course and making adjustments in real-time through a developed, shared and cohesive plan designed to best meet the patient's needs. With 1Unit's services, hospitals can offer the practice-based training and real-time feedback physicians, nurses, allied health and leaders need to ensure staff become experts and remain experts in SIBR rounds.
