Use of patient-relevant outcome measures to assess the long-term effects of care bundles in the ICU: a scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

There is only moderate adherence to evidence-based practice in critical care. Care bundles can be used to increase adherence to best clinical practice. Components of bundle interventions, bundle implementation rates, barriers and facilitators of bundle implementation, and the effect of care bundles on short-term patient outcomes such as intensive care unit (ICU) mortality all appear to be regularly studied. However, over the last years, critical care research has turned towards long-term patient-relevant outcomes after discharge from the ICU. To our knowledge, there is no systematic overview on the long-term effect of care bundle implementation on patient-relevant outcomes. We present a protocol for a scoping review of the available literature on the effect of the impl
