RATIONALE: Several intensive care unit (ICU) organizational practices have been associated with improved patient outcomes. However, the uptake of these evidence-based practices is unknown. OBJECTIVES: To assess diffusion of ICU organizational practices across the state of Pennsylvania. METHODS: We conducted two web-based, cross-sectional surveys of ICU organizational practices in Pennsylvania acute care hospitals, in 2005 (chief nursing officer respondents) and 2014 (ICU nurse manager respondents). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Of 223 eligible respondents, nurse managers from 136 (61%) medical, surgical, mixed medical-surgical, cardiac, and specialty ICUs in 98 hospitals completed the 2014 survey, compared with 124 of 164 (76%) chief nursing officers in the 2005 survey. In 2014, daytime physician staffing models varied widely, with 23 of 136 (17%) using closed models and 33 (24%) offering no intensivist staffing. Nighttime intensivist staffing was used in 37 (27%) ICUs, 38 (28%) used nonintensivist attending staffing, and 24 (18%) had no nighttime attending physicians. Daily multidisciplinary rounds occurred in 93 (68%) ICUs. Regular participants included clinical pharmacists in 68 of 93 (73%) ICUs, respiratory therapists in 62 (67%), and advanced practitioners in 37 (39%). Patients and family members participated in rounds in 36 (39%) ICUs. Clinical protocols or checklists for mechanically ventilated patients were available in 128 of 133 (96%) ICUs, low tidal volume ventilation for acute respiratory distress syndrome in 54 of 132 (41%) ICUs, prone positioning for severe acute respiratory distress syndrome in 37 of 134 (28%) ICUs, and family meetings in 19 of 134 (14%) ICUs. Among 61 ICUs that responded to both surveys, there was a significant increase in the proportion of ICUs using nighttime in-ICU attending physicians (23 [38%] in 2005 vs. 30 [49%] in 2014; P = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS: The diffusion of evidence-based ICU organizational practices has been variable across the state of Pennsylvania. Only half of Pennsylvania ICUs have intensivists dedicated to the ICU. Variable numbers use clinical protocols for life-saving therapies, and few use structured family engagement strategies. In contrast, the diffusion of non-evidence-based practices, including overnight ICU attending physician staffing, is increasing. Future research should focus on promoting implementation of organizational evidence to promote high-quality ICU care.
理论依据:重症监护病房(ICU)的几种组织管理方法已被证实与改善患者预后相关。然而,这些基于证据的方法的采用情况尚不清楚。 目的:评估宾夕法尼亚州ICU组织管理方法的推广情况。 方法:我们于2005年(调查对象为首席护理官)和2014年(调查对象为ICU护士长)对宾夕法尼亚州急症护理医院的ICU组织管理方法进行了两次基于网络的横断面调查。 测量指标及主要结果:在223名符合条件的受访者中,2014年有来自98家医院的136个(61%)医疗、外科、医疗 - 外科混合、心脏及专科ICU的护士长完成了调查,而2005年164名首席护理官中有124名(76%)完成了调查。2014年,日间医生排班模式差异很大,136个ICU中有23个(17%)采用封闭式排班,33个(24%)没有配备专科医生。37个(27%)ICU采用夜间专科医生排班,38个(28%)采用非专科医生值班,24个(18%)没有夜间值班医生。93个(68%)ICU每天进行多学科查房。常规参与者包括93个ICU中的68个(73%)的临床药师、62个(67%)的呼吸治疗师以及37个(
