ICU welcomes families
Healthcare Strategist Trend Watch, July 13, 2007
Emory University Hospital is bucking a decades-long trend by inviting family members to play a direct role in the care of its ICU patients.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Emory is one of few hospitals that is redesigning its intensive care unit to include sleeping quarters for family members. The hospital is doing so in response to studies that show critically ill patients may benefit from the presence of loved ones at the hospital.
Other hospitals that instituted the change have seen the average stay of a patient in the ICU decrease by 50%.
