The development of critical care outreach nursing services
Article Abstract:
The rationale behind the development of critical care outreach services is described and the services are analyzed. Critical care patients are among the sickest in hospital and require extensive facilities and equipment and also proper care, while the activity of the critical care outreach team appears to improve patient survival to discharge from hospital and might reduce the number of readmissions to critical care.
