pubmed:abstractText |
Inadequate communication persists between healthcare professionals and patients and patients' families in intensive care units. Unwanted or ineffective treatments can occur when patients' goals of care are unknown or not honored, increasing costs and care. Having the primary physician provide medical information and then having a physician and clinical nurse specialist team improve opportunities for patients and their families to process that information could improve the situation. This model has not been tested for its effect on patients' outcomes and resource utilization.
