Opis

This practical and evidence-based textbook offers a series of assessment, implementation and evaluation activities for professionals working in intensive care contexts. Designed to improve the quality of care delivery, it looks both at collaboration interprofessionally and between care providers and patients or family members. Collaborative Practice in Intensive Care Settings:

• identifies the issues relating to the 'current state' of collaboration in an ICU through a series of assessment activities;
• provides a series of interventional activities which can address shortfalls of collaboration previously identified; and
• offers advice on generating evidence for the effects of any interventions implemented.

The tools presented in this book are based on extensive empirical research, ensuring this book takes into account the everyday work environment of professionals in intensive care units. It is suitable for critical care practitioners and educators, as well as patient safety leads and managers.
