One Team's Experience with Integrating Flexible Visitation in the Medical Intensive Care Unit.

Abstract:

:Integration of flexible visitation into a large health system requires concentrated effort. Evaluating impact on patient, family, and staff outcomes is important to facilitate changes and ensure visiting policy success. The medical intensive care unit staff participated in a collaborative quality improvement effort to encourage flexible visitation. The integration of flexible visitation spanned an 18-month period, timed to accompany a transition to a new setting with rooms designed to support visitor presence. This article details these efforts, outcomes, and important gaps for future work evaluating integration of flexible visitation in critical care.
