Family-centered care (FCC) promotes participation of families in the care of patients, particularly in the pediatric environment. Pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) are the perfect environment for FCC, nurturing collaborative relationships between families and health care providers. Open communication and shared decision-making are emphasized in FCC. Families are active team members, and emotional, psychological, and cultural needs are considered within FCC.
