ICU-PAUSE: Patient Safety, Diagnostic Errors and Vulnerability to Implicit Bias at Transitions of Care
The transition of patients from the intensive care unit (ICU) to the hospital wards is an inherently high-risk time and communication around these transitions is highly variable and unstandardized. The ATS ICU-PAUSE program is a communication framework that aims to educate health care providers, including trainees, intensivists, hospitalists, and advanced practice providers around patient safety and equity in diagnosis at the time of ICU discharge.
Target Audience
Intensivists, hospitalists, residents and fellows and advanced practice providers involved in transitions of care.
Learning Objectives
- Describe and analyze existing threats to patient safety and healthcare equity during transitions of care
- Describe ICU Pause communication framework and compare current practice to ideal practice stated within framework
- Develop strategies to incorporate framework into current practice
