Behavioral Economic & Staffing Strategies in the ICU (NCT06184945)
Behavioral Economic and Staffing Strategies To Increase Adoption of an Evidence Based Bundle in the Intensive Care Unit (BEST ICU): A Stepped Wedge Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The overarching goal of this study is to support the "real world" assessment of strategies used to foster adoption of several highly efficacious evidence-based practices in healthcare systems that provide care to critically ill adults with known health disparities. Investigators will specifically evaluate two discrete strategies grounded in behavioral economic and implementation science theory (i.e., real-time audit and feedback and registered nurse implementation facilitation) to increase adoption of the ABCDEF bundle in critically ill adults.
