Family Engagement Collaborative

The Society of Critical Care Medicine’s (SCCM) new Family Engagement Collaborative offers a shared learning experience with an aim to enhance positive family engagement in the intensive care unit (ICU). ICU teams are invited to participate focusing on improving patient and family ICU communications and experiences.

The collaborative started in 2019 and ended in 2020, and it included monthly conference calls, educational webinars, and an optional in-person meeting at the 49th Critical Care Congress in Orlando, Florida, USA in February 2020.

For more details on the Family Engagement Collaborative, please contact Adair Andrews.

Online informational meetings will be held for those interested in participating to learn more about the collaborative throughout March.
