    Author: Albano A, Elliott S, Lusardi P, Scott S, Thomas D.
    Journal: Crit Care Nurs Clin North Am; 2005 Jun; 17(2):169-75, xi. PubMed ID: 15862740.
    Abstract:
    The adult intensive care unit (ICU) at Baystate Medical Center is a 24-bed medical-surgical-trauma ICU that provides high-quality care to critically ill patients. Collaboration and expertise among the nursing staff, intensivists, and interdisciplinary colleagues have contributed to its development into a Beacon Award-winning unit. Its primary goal is reflected in the unit's mission: "Care for our patients is guided by knowledge, motivated by compassion, and performed in collaboration with others." Common interests, values, and purposes have created an environment of communication that supports the delivery of exceptional critical care to patients and their families.
