Including the Entire Healthcare Team in Goal-Directed Care Planning: A Policy Approach

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Mary Faith Marshall from the University of Virginia discusses the importance of team decision-making in intensive care unit settings, particularly for end-of-life care. She emphasizes that shared decision-making among healthcare teams is crucial before engaging patients or their families. The University of Virginia implemented a revised policy, moving from a Do Not Resuscitate focus to one emphasizing comprehensive code status orders and associated treatment plans. This approach ensures effective communication and aligns healthcare decisions with realistic patient goals, improving team and patient outcomes. Marshall highlights moral hazard, the significance of team cohesion, and the importance of team member contributions to patient care. The policy’s evolution involved extensive collaboration with stakeholders, underscoring the importance of respecting healthcare teams’ professional integrity while ensuring patient-centered care. The result aims for harmony in healthcare settings, promoting better patient satisfaction and reducing caregiver burnout.
