What are the responsibilities and job description for the Patient Care Technician - ICA position at RUSH Copley Medical Center?
The Intermediate Care Area (ICA) is a 36-bed inpatient unit. ICA is focused on providing extraordinary care for patients whose illness severity may not warrant an Intensive Care Unit setting, but who are not stable enough to be treated in the Medical Surgical Units.

ICA is a unit who achieved gold-level Beacon Award for Excellence from the American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACN). The award honors excellence in Progressive Care nursing and is regarded as the top honor in the field. Currently, the ICA is the only Progressive Care unit in Illinois — and one of only seven in the country — to have earned the gold award.
