Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Patient-Centered Care
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • The International Research Project for the Humanization of Intensive Care Units (Proyecto HU-CI) began in 2014.
  • Current intensive care unit (ICU) models often lack a human-centered approach.
  • There is a need to transform critical care delivery to prioritize patient and family well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To shift the paradigm of intensive care toward a human-centered care model.
  • To identify key areas for improving ICU management and care delivery.
  • To present a tested and replicable model for ICU humanization.

Main Methods:

  • Gathered input from patients, families, and healthcare professionals on their ideal ICU.
  • Identified 8 fields of research based on stakeholder perspectives.
  • Developed a comprehensive model for humanizing intensive care.

Main Results:

  • Defined a human-centered care model for ICUs.
  • Established 8 research areas to guide ICU improvements.
  • Created a tested and replicable framework for implementing humanized care.

Conclusions:

  • The Proyecto HU-CI model offers a viable strategy for humanizing intensive care units.
  • This approach can be implemented globally to improve patient and family experiences.
  • Stakeholder involvement is crucial for effective ICU humanization.
