Co-development of a transitions in care bundle for patient transitions from the intensive care unit: a mixed-methods analysis of a stakeholder consensus meeting.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intensive care unit (ICU) patients undergoing transitions in care are at increased risk of adverse events and gaps in medical care.
