Whether you are just starting implementation or you are part of a seasoned team seeking to expand quality improvement efforts, SCCM has expert-developed resources, including toolkits, electronic health record resources, and more. The ICU Liberation Implementation Toolkit is a great place to start!

ICU Liberation Implementation Toolkit

The ICU Liberation Implementation Toolkit provides adult and pediatric critical care teams with a variety of resources to champion and sustain bundle implementation. The toolkit contains:
  • An ICU Liberation Implementation Framework Booklet, with individual guidance for each bundle element
  • Data metrics and compliance definitions
  • A spreadsheet for data collection
  • Dashboard compliance and performance reports

ICU Liberation Bundle (A-F)


The A-F elements of the ICU Liberation Bundle individually and collectively work to reduce delirium, prevent and manage pain, achieve early mobilization, and reduce long-term consequences for adult ICU patients.

The ICU Liberation Bundle has been shown in multiple studies involving more than 20,000 patients to:
  • Decrease the likelihood of hospital death within seven days by 68%
  • Reduce delirium and coma days by 25% to 50%
  • Reduce physical restraint use by more than 60%
  • Cut ICU readmissions in half
  • Reduce discharge to nursing and rehabilitation facilities by 40%
