Family advocates: caring for families in crisis
Abstract
Families of patients unexpectedly brought to the emergency department or transferred to the intensive care unit are families in crisis. In the greater scheme of things, they may not be a priority. This article discusses a program in which family advocates care for families just as nurses and physicians care for the critically ill patient.
