ANSWER

Reimbursement plays an significant role in all the sector and the frame-work for reimbursement is different as we do get to see variations in critical care practices, costs involved and regulatory systems and the demographic factors.
The reimbursement should be such that intensivists can formulate and negotiate reimbursement of services while safeguarding ethics, professionalism, and make that they deliver high quality service to the patients.
