Improving practice in the PICU is a passion of mine. There is a multitude of best practice work completed in critical care; the challenge becomes in implementing those foundational concepts to the bedside for best patient outcomes. This knowledge translation is one of the key pieces in the quality improvement initiatives that I have completed to date. Looking forward, I think a focus on the patient experience in their journey through a critical care unit will offer many unique and interesting insights upon which our next quality improvement initiatives can be anchored.
