CHICAGO — Susan Simoncini, RN, BSN, Director of Intensive Care at Cape Regional Medical Center, has been honored with the 2017 I SEE YOU CARE Award presented by Advanced ICU Care, the nation’s leading provider of high-acuity telemedicine services. The award recognizes outstanding collaboration between in-hospital care staff and Advanced ICU Care’s remote critical care team – a partnership that is vital to improving patient care and outcomes in the demanding intensive care unit (ICU) environment.

Ms. Simoncini was recognized in a ceremony at Cape Regional Medical Center on Tuesday, March 28 and was also honored with a donation in Susan’s name to the Cape Regional Foundation. Established in 2016, the I SEE YOU CARE Award honors Advanced ICU Care tele-ICU partners for their efforts in caring for patients, collaborating across geography and leveraging telehealth to make a profound difference within their hospital. Recognition is given in four categories: hospital, administrator, physician and nurse.
“Sue has been a positive influence amongst the bedside nurses, encouraging communication establishing a positive working relationship with the AICU team, and insuring safe, quality patient care.
