  • Title: Optimizing safe, comfortable ICU care through multi-professional quality improvement: just DO it.
    Author: Montpetit AJ, Sessler CN.
    Journal: Crit Care; 2013 Apr 30; 17(2):138. PubMed ID: 23659656.
    Abstract:
    Translating research to the bedside can present significant challenges in the complex ICU environment. In this issue of Critical Care, de Jong and colleagues report on a quality improvement project (NURSE-DO) that led to a decrease in severe pain and serious adverse events during nursing care procedures in their ICU. In this commentary we describe three aspects of this quality improvement study that we think contributed to the overall success of the NURSE-DO project: the hospital environment and culture; multi-professional partnerships; and an evidence-based structured approach.
