Description	There are many challenges to the delivery of neurointensive care in the emerging future. Intensive care will occupy over 1/2 of acute care hospital beds within the next decade and will be the focus of intense pressure to both improve care while limiting cost. The design of Neuroscience centers of excellence will also be addressed. Pertinent information technology, advanced imaging techniques, and outcomes based research will be increasingly used to achieve these goals.
Objectives	Identify trends in clinical, administrative, and economic challenges in neurointensive care Strategize to improve outcomes in neurological emergencies Discuss controversies in neurocritical care Provide simulation training for common neurological emergencies and neurocritical care treatment scenarios Provide effective nursing education, recruitment and retention in the ICU of the future Improve patient safety and outcome with information technology in the ICU Apply telemedicine in the ICU of the future Understand the future of critical pathways in the neuro-ICU Discuss economics and outcomes of an neurointensivist led neuro-ICU,continuous electroencephalography in the ICU, intracranial pressure monitoring in the U, brain tissue oxygen monitoring in the ICU, brain Microdialysis monitoring in the ICU and advanced CT, MRI and PET imaging techniques in the ICU of the future
