Humanizing Intensive Care

The International Research Project for the Humanization of Intensive Care Units (Proyecto HU-CI) was initiated in 2014. The aim of this project is to change the current paradigm toward a human-centered care model. Patients, families, and professionals (everyday stakeholders) were asked to describe their ideal intensive care unit (ICU). Using their opinions, 8 fields of research to improve the management of ICUs and change the reality of care throughout the world were designed. This replicable tested model to humanize the ICU care delivery model is presented.
