Presents managerial and public policy solutions to the gatekeeping dilemma, examining ways by which society, through government, markets, and community consensus-building, can legitimately sort out competing claims to ICU resources. Six case studies simulate gatekeeping decision making to show how decisions are interrelated and to illustrate key resource allocation issues. Other chapters discuss the organizational roles of various participants, the organizational setting of the ICU and the constraints faced, and approaches to improving admission-discharge decision-making.
